Patrick Linehan, from Modern Woodmen of America, had a major announcement to make last night and we got it all on video!  He matched the money raised yesterday from the Red Barn and auctions bringing the total over $10,700!  But wait...there was more!

After the event, Laura Benedict of the Red Barn, received an anonymous donation of $1,000 bringing the total to almost $12,000!!

Lil Miss Charlee had her first brain surgery last week and Connor will be headed next week to New York for his 3rd brain surgery in less than 2 years!  They both have chiari malformation, a condition where the brain herniates below the base of the skull compressing the brain stem and spine.  This money raised last night will help offset the cost of traveling and staying in New York for almost a month!  This is a huge sigh of relief for the Sawtelle Family!
