The Heart of Cooper Joe Guild BBQ

Updated!!!
BBQ Contribution Total is in......$2,750!!!
was raised for Children's Hospital Uncompensated Care Fund.
Wow. Wow. Wow. What a wonderful Day we had on Saturday.
On Saturday, August 23, 2008, we held our first Heart of Cooper Joe Guild event. It was an amazing experience for Scott and me. We started the guild last August and at that time, we never realized how important the Guild in Cooper’s name, would be to us. We can’t be more proud of being Cooper’s parents and to give 100% of the money raised to the place that we call "Cooper’s Home," Children's Hospital.
Getting Ready for Cooper's First House Party!! With Red Cups and all!


His Cute little feet have become the Guild's Logo.



Cooper is known to us as our Sunshine and he certainly was shining down on his first official Guild event. The BBQ was a healing experiance for Scott and I. Tank The Official Guild Mascot. Tank even held onto a balloon in his mouth and released it when all the kids released balloons for Cooper.

We want to Thank EVERYONE for supporting Scott, Kelly and The Heart of Cooper Joe Guild throughout the past 10 months. It is healing for us to gather all of our friends and family to remember our beautiful son and we hope that we will many more successful events for many years to come.

One idea was given to us for another event that has Cooper's name written all over it.....A PUB crawl. Hmmmmm..... I think like Father, like Son.

I just love the new picture of Cooper you posted on the top right hand corner. The "sunshine" one. It took my breath away. And the black & white family photo is beautiful.
Hope you are all doing well.
