She would be in middle school. She would most likely be into boys. She would be squabbling with her siblings at home and meeting friends at the movies. There is no question Isabella’s life was cut too short, but there is also no question that her legacy is creating hope for so many. Lots going on in March with many ways for you to get involved and help make an impact. We hope you will donate blood, attend one of the events below, eat lots of Jersey Mike’s subs or reach out to talk about how your business can get involved. Check back monthly and get THE SKINNY on what’s happening in and around the foundation.[/av_textblock] [/av_cell_one_half][av_cell_one_half vertical_align=’middle’ padding=’200px’ padding_sync=’true’ background=’bg_color’ background_color=” background_gradient_color1=” background_gradient_color2=” background_gradient_direction=’vertical’ src=’https://isabellasantosfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/ita_isabella_012-736×1030.jpg’ attachment=’12379′ attachment_size=’large’ background_attachment=’scroll’ background_position=’center right’ background_repeat=’stretch’ link=” linktarget=” link_hover=” mobile_display=” av_uid=’av-jtlpkbb2′] [/av_cell_one_half][/av_layout_row][av_layout_row border=” min_height_percent=” min_height=’0′ color=’main_color’ mobile=’av-flex-cells’ id=” av_element_hidden_in_editor=’0′ mobile_breaking=” av-desktop-hide=” av-medium-hide=” av-small-hide=” av-mini-hide=” av_uid=’av-12fzc’] [av_cell_one_half vertical_align=’middle’ padding=’200px’ padding_sync=’true’ background=’bg_color’ background_color=” background_gradient_color1=” background_gradient_color2=” background_gradient_direction=’vertical’ src=’https://isabellasantosfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/16-736×1030.jpg’ attachment=’12175′ attachment_size=’large’ background_attachment=’scroll’ background_position=’center center’ background_repeat=’stretch’ link=” linktarget=” link_hover=” mobile_display=” av_uid=’av-jtmaou9t’] [/av_cell_one_half][av_cell_one_half vertical_align=’top’ padding=’80px,80px,80px,80px’ background=’bg_color’ background_color=” background_gradient_color1=” background_gradient_color2=” background_gradient_direction=’vertical’ src=” attachment=” attachment_size=” background_attachment=’scroll’ background_position=’top left’ background_repeat=’no-repeat’ link=” linktarget=” link_hover=” mobile_display=” av_uid=’av-jtmaou9t’] [av_heading heading=’Executive Director Dish’ tag=’h2′ link_apply=” link=’manually,http://’ link_target=” style=’blockquote modern-quote’ size=” subheading_active=” subheading_size=’15’ margin=” padding=’10’ color=” custom_font=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=” av-desktop-hide=” av-medium-hide=” av-small-hide=” av-mini-hide=” av-medium-font-size-title=” av-small-font-size-title=” av-mini-font-size-title=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=”][/av_heading] [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” av_uid=’av-jua6a3nc’ admin_preview_bg=”] While I knew this event was going to bring great awareness to ISF, it was difficult for me to fundraise. The competitive nature of who I am just couldn’t shake it but my team kept assuring me where I fell in the fundraising was not the most important reason why I was doing this. Bringing awareness to the foundation and what we are doing for kids fighting cancer was the primary reason. In the end, I raised just over $86,000 and approximately $35,000 will come back to our organization, which we are very grateful for. I know many of our supporters were hesitant to donate because you would have preferred for 100% of your donation to come to ISF. We get that. And for those of you who wanted to support and have your entire donation go to us, I would love for you to donate to Isabella’s Wish Fundraiser to help us reach our $6,000 fundraising goal to gift to Make-A-Wish for a wish trip.
Did you see my latest blog about spending time with Sydney, the wish child we helped fund last year?
Incredibly surreal.
