Julie and Scott Halpert present Ellie Serras with the first Spirit of Garrett Award:
UPDATE: We are delighted to announce that our Go4GarrettsSpace fundraiser was a rousing success, raising a total of $233,000 as of August 28 including $24,600 from the online auction.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, including our sponsors, auction donors, performers, fitness and wellness coaches, event attendees and our amazing team of volunteers. We couldn't have done it without you! We had over 200 people attend the event, enjoying the entertainment, speakers, refreshments and wellness classes. Here is the link to the full version of this video about our progress at Garrett's Space. You can see the entire livestream on the GiveButter site for a bit longer. We will also be posting the link to that livestream as well as video tributes from celebrities on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks. If you haven't yet had the chance to donate, you can always do so through by clicking the “Donate” button in our website menu.
Again, thanks to all of you who helped make this such a huge success!
