Common Bond Breakfast Recap
Erin’s House for Grieving Children hosted another successful Common Bond Breakfast on April 17 with guest speaker Lee Woodruff, raising nearly $60,000 to support the organization’s mission.
Over 400 guests joined Erin’s House staff, volunteers and board members and enjoyed a light breakfast while sharing in inspirational messages from Sophia, a 9-year old participant at Erin’s House; Lee Woodruff, wife of Bob Woodruff, mother author and network news contributor; and Shannon Harris, a 3rd Grade Teacher at Holland Elementary that called on Erin’s House several times as events or milestones would come up with her class as they grieved the loss of their classmate Aliahna Lemmon.
The proceeds from the Common Bond Breakfast enable Erin’s House to provide support services for children, teens and their families who have suffered the death of a loved one. With ongoing community support, Erin’s House is able to continue its programs at no cost to participants.
A special thank you goes out to the volunteer committee members that expertly organized this year’s event. Those members include: Shelly Meyer, Tower Bank; Cathy Krouse, Construction Control; Larry Rowland, Parkview Health; Wendy Rowland, Lutheran Cancer Center; Jane Hoffman; Terri Bellio, Coldwell Banker Roth Wehrly Graber; Bliss Cook, Vera Bradley; and Debbi Smith, Banana Republic. Meyer states, “They truly are a team with heart and a goal.”
