I wish I could say that Gaylord was able to give us $25,000, but we are thankful that they gave at all. We are able to add $250 to our FEED account, knowing that the $250 will eventually become $1,250 thanks to our grant match. We are learning that fundraising is a very difficult job; the experience that we have gained from presenting to these major corporations has been invaluable. I must say thank you in particular to Mr. Barry Rice at Gaylord Opryland for helping us make the connection with the right people at Gaylord Entertainment. Mr. Rice and my dad worked together back in the day, and I really appreciate his willingness to help our team with FEED. Not only has Mr. Rice connected us with Gaylord, but he has also provided connection to another major corporation, Freeman Decorating Co. I have just gotten off the phone with Mr. Mark Kafader, from Freeman Decorating Co. He will be speaking with the General Manager tomorrow, and will get back to me by the end of the week. Mr. Kafader also knew my dad, and has been very gracious to do what he can for FEED. I appreciate all of the support that we have received on this journey to impact our world through FEED. We are on our way to raising $50,000, but we still need a great deal of support to reach our goal. We also need to remember to give up control to the One who can truly make this happen.
God is good.
