4th Annual Benefit Info Announced

It's that time of year again - time for the 4th Annual Sacred Selections Bartlett Benefit! This year's benefit weekend will take place on June 10th and 11th. We are still getting the details figured out and will update the blog as soon as we know everything, but there will be a Barbecue Dinner and Auction on Friday evening, June 10th. A pancake breakfast will take place on Saturday morning, June 11th as well as a golf tournament. Check back for further details, or "like" our Facebook page ("Sacred Selections Annual Benefit in Bartlett, TN) to get all the latest news and updates.

Sacred Selections is a non-profit, privately funded and run organization that helps match children in need with families who will love and care for them. Sacred Selections works from both ends of the adoption process. We seek out children who are in need of loving families and Christian families who want a child to share their love and blessings with. Another big part of Sacred Selection's mission is to help these families with the financial burden of adoption. This is where you come in! Your support and donations will help us fund adoptions for these families! In the past 3 years the Bartlett Benefit has raised $47,000 and helped fund 9 adoptions! We need your help to make this year an even bigger success.

 For more information on Sacred Selections, visit their website at http://www.sacredselections.org. We look forward to seeing everyone the weekend of June 10th and 11th and raising money for this worthy cause!

Less Than 2 Weeks Left!!!

We appreciate so many of you sending your registrations in already. Your generosity is overwhelming and we are thrilled to be part of your efforts. This year’s event is shaping up to be another fun-filled huge success with brothers and sisters coming from all around. We will all love hearing the stories from the couples that have received grants from Sacred Selections and, of course, David and Dana Carrozza. So, if you have not passed this great opportunity on to your friends, please do it now so they too can experience the joy of helping christian couples with the expenses of adopting the unwanted babies.

With two great years behind us, it would have been easy to stop for awhile. But, your enthusiasm would just not allow it! You all exhibit the true nature of God’s children when you continuously look for opportunities to help in this scriptural and loving way. We look forward to working with you to help remove the financial barriers of adoption so the babies can get into good christian homes.

For those of you who have not yet sent in registrations or donations, please get those in soon so we can plan accordingly. (see form below) We have extended the deadline through the end of this week!

Looking forward to a great time with all of you!
