UPDATE- Golf Tournament has been pushed back to AUGUST!!!

UPDATE: the Gift For Gavin Charity Golf Tournament has been pushed back to SATURDAY, AUGUST 16TH!!!! Update your calender and spread the word to all your golfing friends! We think this date will be a lot better, since so many of our friends and family were on vacation during the month of July. We've already had a lot more people sign up since the date switch! YAY! :)

The NEW register-by date is: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6th!!! Players MUST pre-register and payment is due at time of registration! (we have to report our total number & pay the fee to the golf course in advance) The cost is $75 a player, which includes lunch and two free raffle tickets! Payment options include cash, check, or online through paypal (please see the "PAY NOW" button in the upper right-hand corner of this page!).

Please contact Kim to register! Call #480.277.6348 -OR- e-mail at dkb04@msn.com. She needs to know your first & last name, the names of all other players in your group (if signing up as a group), contact information (phone number or e-mail) and how you would like to pay!

The rest of the details are still the same. It will be held at Superstition Springs Golf Club in Mesa, AZ. Players must sign-in on Saturday morning between 6:00AM-6:45AM. Shot-gun start will be at 7:00AM. Golf dress attire required (collared shirt, no jeans!).

Lunch will be served inside around noon. (menu is still the same...Western BBQ, cornbread, cole slaw, fruit cobbler, etc...YUM!). Non-players can come just for lunch, price is $20 a person. (please e-mail Kim in advance if you plan to do that! Thank you!)

There will be a silent auction, raffle, contests, and prizes all throughout the day! Its going to be FUN!!!! We've already got a lot of really cool items for the auction (my personal favorite so far...a helicopter ride!!!!). I will be posting the specific items available to bid on closer to the event date.

Also, for those who don't play golf, but would still like to help out...we need a few volunteers to help sign-in players, run contests, set up silent auction tables, etc. Your lunch will be provided for! :D Another option would be to sponsor a player (does your brother-in-law like to play? son? neighbor?)

Thanks for your understanding! :)

Shop ART for Gavin in the month of JULY!

Remember those gorgeous framed, black and white prints from the Ice Cream Social??? They were all donated by Raymond Designs, and they have SO GENEROUSLY offered to extend their kindness by donating 100% of the profit for any art purchased online in the month of July!!! Just make sure you put "Gavin" in the promo code! ;)

Honestly, even if you don't purchase something this month, you should someday, because this is an amazing company (and amazing family!). All their products are made in the USA, and they are located right here in our area in Gilbert, AZ!

They have so many beautiful prints and customized plaques, even some for kids! Almost everything is available framed or as less expensive plaque version. And not everything is religious either...they have a really cool surf themed kids set, an Americana set, and it looks like a beach/pier set coming soon!

{ click here to visit their website! }

These are some of my favorites:







I like these easel versions...you could switch them out for different holidays, like the nativity scene below for Christmas, and the Resurrection one for Easter.

10% of the proceeds from their Americana prints go to the charity organization United Familes International.

I loooooooove these personalized kid prints. They are so stinkin' cute!!!! They all come in either boy or girl versions!

They also have an extensive line of surf themed kids prints, they all come in two options of primary colors or pastels.

Shop SHOES for Gavin in the month of JULY!

Studio 32 Shoes is an online shoe shop based out of Salt Lake City, Utah! They donated a gift card to the Ice Cream Social and then decided they wanted to sponsor Gavin as their Charity Cause for the month of July!

Check out their page with Gavin's story on it {here!} (They do a different charity every month or so! So they are all always giving back to their community, how awesome is that?!)

They have totally cute shoes, and the best part is, they are all $32 or less! And right now, they are ALL BUY ONE, GET ONE HALF OFF!!! They switch up their line often, so don't miss out! These are some of my favorites right now:
