Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who made our 2025 Blue Star Mom Live and Silent Auction Fundraiser a success! !!
After all the live and silent  auctioned off items were tallied up, the cash/check donations, the donations rounded up from items people bought, the dinner and more..you helped us raise $33,247, so we can continue sending boxes every month, over 20+ years to our deployed men and women ❤️ …what a blessing. 
First, I want to apologize for the late post, but days after the auction our life got a little crazy with a medical emergency, and then we went right in to our November Thanksgiving boxes that we needed to get packed out and then right after that comes our several evenings of packing 3 Christmas boxes for each of our deployed soldiers, and then came Christmas ❤️….. But, we did it, and
I am so thankful for the moms and volunteers who jumped in and did what needed to be done, but now everything is finally getting back on track and I wanted to share the good news and thank everyone for all the hard work that went into making this Auction successful, so that we can continue sending boxes to our deployed men and women every month.
This auction takes months of planning, meeting every Monday night, starting 2 months beforehand, to make sure this auction goes smoothly ….our soldiers care packages depend on it.
Our Troops sacrifice so much for us, being gone months and months away from home, missing holidays, birthdays, the birth of their children and more…  sending a care package each month is just a small gesture we can do to make sure they know they are not forgotten, and hopefully brighten their days. 🥰
Thank you to Danny Headrick and Jasper, for not only getting the room arranged and set up…that’s a lot of tables and chairs, and it helped us out tremendously and made the event flow so smoothly, but much much more.
Retta, JB, JB Jr. and family of JB Robison Auctioneers, we so appreciate you guys! Every year, no matter the weather, you drive from Vinita after your Veterans Day commitments to support us . Your love for our military definitely shines through ❤️
Thank you, Oklahoma Freedom Flight for always volunteering to help cook and serve the dinner to our Veterans and the attendees of the auction, Kenny, Dave, Gloria, Cindy and more….We appreciate you guys! 
*D Bar Beef, thank you so much for always providing great quality meat for our dinner, your support is truly amazing. 
* Miranda, from Dollar General, girl, I don’t know what we would do without you coordinating each year with your vendors for the pop and water and you and your hubby for donating Fritos, for our Frito chili pie dinner, thank you 
*Rhett, with Trey-Mart, thank you for your donations of the cases of Fritos for our Frito chili pie from your booth.
*The auction takes a lot of legwork, and thankfully, we had Salina HS FFA students and Matt, their AG teacher to help with the live auction running back and forth, scanning the crowd during the bidding to make sure we didn’t miss anybody, and more, thank you! And this year I didn’t have to play Vanna! (IYKYK)😉 The girls and guys did an amazing job.
*The PJHS 8th graders, helped with serving, and carrying plates to tables for some of our veterans and attendees, thank you. 
*Justin, with Premier Signs and Designs, thank you! Not only for the banners that you provide each year so people know when and where our auction is, but for the messages on the billboards at Salina Speedway and Hookers Bar and Grill,promoting our auction each year, we appreciate you.
* Thank you RCB Bank and Pryority Bank for promoting us on your electronic messaging signs each year for our auction.
And a BIG “thank you” to all the Businesses, Clinics, Corporations , individuals, and more ,who donate the items that we auction off each year, and attend, without your support, this would not be possible. It takes a village and we have the most awesome one. 🥰
Thank you to all my moms, dads, volunteers, school kids, and more who work hours and hours to pull this off, contacting businesses for auction items, corporations for donations, decorating for the event and lots, lots more…you all are awesome.. 🥰
 
And last, but not least “Thank You” to everyone , our Community, our “Village” who come out each year, no matter the weather, and support us.
We truly have so much to be thankful for. Thankful that we live in a free country, thankful we have men and women who are willing to serve and keep us safe, thankful that we are able to gather together without fear, thankful for this great Nation!
