Party Recap!

Wow, it's been over 2 months!  Time flies when you're having fun and the summer fun had a great kick-off with Dave's party on July 7th!

We thank anyone who came and celebrated with us or in spirit!  We especially thank anyone who donated in Dave's name to Dana-Farber.  

So far we have raised $590 thanks to your generosity!  

(As always the link to donate directly in Dave's memory is in the right margin.)

Now, here are some pictures from that day!  The weather prohibited us from launching the flying lanterns, but the floating ones were so beautiful, peaceful, and calming...  it still was wonderful.  And, even though there were no fireworks, there still was some fire, so I think Dave would approve.  ;-)

There was swimming!

And more swimming!

And playing sweaty Lego soccer!

And much playing with real soccer balls!

And frolicking by the lake!

And tire swinging!

Delicious food and company

!

Everyone enjoying the beautiful day!

Memories of Dave and friends and family catching up!

Many pics of Dave!

The guests brought delicious desserts!

More playing by the lake!

Time to write our hopes and wishes on the lanterns

We set them into the lake and they gracefully and dreamily floated away.

Pictures do not do justice to the beauty of that night!

Dave, you were in our minds, hearts, and souls that night and always!

Thank you again to everyone for supporting us in our efforts to keep Dave's memory alive and also to help support the fight against cancer!

Thanks for helping us...

Help Us Light Up the Lake!

We all know Dave loved a party, 

we all know how he loved fireworks!  

So, help us light up the lake the night of the party by

purchasing a lantern 

that will either float on the surface of the lake or float into the sky!
Lanterns will be $10 each, with proceeds going to 

Dana-Farber Cancer Research. 

They'll be first come, first serve the day of the party that day!

If you want to buy more than one lantern, email us at bravelikedave@gmail.com.

We might be able to order more!
