Transcript: Hey, everybody, it’s Scott with 18 FORE Life. Just want to wish everyone a happy New Year. Hope you got off to a good start with you and your family and friends. Hopefully 2026 will be a great year for all of us. 2025, here at 18 FORE Life was our best year yet. We gave over away over $300,000. That that said, our our personal best, and and and it leaves us at 4.3 million since 2000. So, we always get excited about that. And again, we’re going to be excited about that until there’s a cure. We’re we’re we’re we’re hoping from one day with it we won’t have a reason to do this. But, until then, we’re going to keep doing what we do today. We went to the post office and sent out $15,000, 15 families, fighting this fight. And, and, we’re there with them. And, so, our gala is coming up. That’s a that’s a big reason for this, video, January 24th and again, Scott and Angie laying out at the Meadows, the, the event’s going to be so, so nice. A great meal, $50 a ticket, or we have tables that you can reserve for you and your friends for a thousand. We’re just calling those love offering tables. It’ll be a little bit extra, but you’ll have the assigned seating set with your friends. And also also kind of help us on the end of paying for the meal and paying for some of this, so that we can truly use this as a, as a great fundraiser, because we hope that this is the first of many. We’re halfway to a sell out. We got a great crowd already. I mean, the people coming in that have already went 18 FORE Life.com on our website. You just go there front and center, get your tickets or your table and, you know, it’s it’s already a fun crowd and we’re about halfway there to a sell out, so we’re looking forward to that. We’ve got some auction items. We’re going to start a an auction online, this next week. Our big item that we’re excited about here is a Katie Coleman, one of a kind, kind of Santa and one of his reindeer caddying for him. It’s 24 by 30. It’s a it’s a it’s a big thing. I can’t hardly get it in the print, but it’s just a it’s such a cool design. She’s so talented. And, and again, she fit us in and got that done so that we can auction off. We’ve got a bottle of Pappy’s we’re going to put in the auction in a high dollar bottle of bourbon that, hopefully someone will want to take home. And again, maybe it’s just a way that you can support whether you’re going to be there or not. The auction will run all the way into the event, and, you know, it’ll be kind of a live ending. You won’t have to be there to to win. You can win from anywhere. And with the app, that we’re going to talk to you about next week, you can go ahead and start bidding and hopefully that’ll be a real cool addition. But we just look forward to seeing everybody there. We appreciate Scott & Angie, and we appreciate Chad and Melanie Calvert and SEMO Selfie. They’re going to deejay. We’re going to have a photographer there. And we’ll post some times that you can come get a real nice picture with you and your significant other, but it’s just going to be a night, night out for adults, you know, and, and just to kind of socialize. And I’m looking forward to it because during the golf event, I it’s just such a great time seeing everybody there. But we’re running around doing things I don’t get to visit as much as I would like, and I just can’t wait for this event. And very excited about it. Hopefully it’s a huge success. And again, we’re just going to keep doing what we do. If you would like to sponsor or donate in any way, if you’ve got any items or ideas, you know, holler at me. That’s that’s what just adds to these events, makes them even more fun. And again, we just thank you for the support you give this grassroots charity. And we really, really feel proud to team with you guys to, to to make it, to make a difference in these folks lives when they, when they face a fight. So y’all have a great weekend and, we’ll see you soon. We’ll see you on the 24th. All dressed up.
