Auction for the Ryan Ladd Benefit

One of my best friend's brother has a disease called Gastroparesis.  It is paralysis of the stomach, which means eating (digesting) and being satisfied is near about impossible.  He has very bad days where he is very sick and makes frequent emergency visits to the hospital...however there is not much they can do besides keep him hydrated once he gets there.  He is in need of a surgery that will implant a pacemaker into his stomach in order to "shock" the stomach into proper digestion.  This surgery cost $60,000 and the money has to be paid up front...insurance will not cover him as it is a risky surgery.  His family has successfully raised $10,000 but that has come from almost a year of hard work.  Read Ryan's complete story here:  http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100002038159280&sk=info

With that being said, Sweet Baby Sugar Boutique is going to hold an auction in order to help raise money for Ryan's surgery.  I am asking for vendors who are willing to put their items in our auction...where ALL proceeds will go towards his surgery.  Please note here:  You will not make a profit from this auction since all proceeds will go towards his surgery, however your items will be tagged with your fan page and you will gain many new fans by participating...plus, helping out a great cause in the process!!   

Please comment below if you are interested in participating with us!  All I need right now is your name, your fan page link to facebook and an approximate number of items you'd like to donate.  (I do not need pictures of the items at this time!)  If you are not able to comment below, please email me at allison.mckenzie07@hotmail.com.  As of right now, I do not have a set date that the auction will begin or end.  It will depend on how quickly I get enough vendors to sign up.  Thank you all, and please help spread the word!
