The Eric Haas Charity Fundraiser was an incredible night – and a great success!
Thanks to Mariusz, Kayla and Daniela; Epic Events – $11,000 was raised!!
I can’t quite put into words how overwhelming it was; the support and love in that room.
Dinner was great – some fantastic prizes were won. Highlights included a touching (yet funny) speech given by Eric’s sister Kandis (love you!!). And I nearly lost it when EVERYONE in the room gathered on the dancefloor – to raise a glass for Eric. Hundreds of people shouting ‘We love you Eric!’ in unison. I’ve never heard anything so inspiring and empowering. More moving than any love song could ever be. I’ll never forget it.
It was great to meet so many of Team Eric’s supporters (which I won’t name for fear of leaving anyone out). But I must thank Maria, Peter and family for the beautiful flowers for Kara and I; such a nice surprise. And Tia, who’s event I will be posting tomorrow. Stay tuned ….
Eric has seen some of the video – as well as photos posted on facebook (linked on the events page; Epic Events). He so appreciates all the work that went into this event – and is very grateful for the support. Obviously he’s sorry he wasn’t able to attend – but thanks everyone who did.
I’ll be posting a list of sponsors (who were SO generous in providing raffle prizes) – as well as some photos soon.
Thanks again to Epic Events – and everyone who made the night such a success!!
Much love
*Team Eric*
