Fundrasier SPOTLIGHT= 4th of July 2008



With the introduction to the remarkable people from Spark Design came forward another “amazing” member of their group, Mr. James Neal Jr. As the owner of Red Hawk Farms, James presented us with the idea of selling his watermelon slices at the Tempe Town Lake during the City’s Annual 4th of July event. James was quick to offer 100% of the proceeds would benefit Trey’s Treasures. James and his staff provided us with everything we needed to run the watermelon booth. The location of the space they rented just so happened to provide us with a front row seat to the spectacular fireworks show. The watermelons were cold and juicy and at times were selling throughout the event faster than we could slice them. Mike and I recruited family and friends to lend a hand which many did so without hesitation.



As luck would have it Mike was already working an overtime shift at this Tempe event. Mike recruited every co-worker he possibly could to visit our booth. Not only did Mike’s recruiting “buy” us the best security at the event, I believe a very large amount of the money we grossed came from those Tempe Police Department Police Officers. We love our “boys in blue”



We can’t thank James, Vince and Susan enough. Again were touched by the level of generosity shown to us all in hopes of helping raise money for our beautiful baby boy.
