The Month of March means.... The Bash is almost here!!

March is upon us now and we are in "full swing" planning the final touches to Bubba's 6th annual softball tourney for Make A Wish!
We pretty much work on it ALL year but this is the time it comes down to the "nitty gritty" ya know?
I pray for dry weather! I am not picky and if it is sub freezing weather, I will take it and promise not to complain.
We have so much more going on for the tourney this year- it really is an exciting weekend for all involved.
Bobby and Cody also donate their whole weekend to help these great kids who we strive to grant those specials "wishes".
It truly is a family project. Well not so much a project any more... now it is considered a "labor of love" for all of us.
We have decided to "try" and add a celebrity game to kick off the tournament on that Friday night.
WOW! It is REALLY hard getting to the"right people" of a celebrity!
It all has to do with timing as well. So many we have gotten thru to, would love to come out but will be out of town.
I truly believe that The Perry Family was meant to find the Make A Wish Foundation. They have taught me what it means to never give up and always believe that anything is possible. You just have to believe.....
It simply amazes me that even in the tough economic times that people are still willing to give their time and money to still help out those in need.
To see these kids makes my heart feel SO full.
I know that this is a time in their lives and the lives of their families that they can forget all that is going on in their lives and just sit back and relish in the happiness that a "wish" can give them.
It really doesn't matter what that "wish" is... it is what it is to THEM and that is all that matters in the end.
So whatever it takes, that's what we will do to keep this tournament going because a "wish" is what it is TRULY all about.
I will see you on the ball field!
