Two nights ago, The American Legion of Whiteford, MD hosted a “Party for Emily”. The event was organized by Emily’s mother in-law and father in-law, Deb & Dave Heiner. They were assisted by several friends and neighbors who rounded up over a hundred items for prizes. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Topping off the items were a $1,000 combination pellet and propane gas grill, with Wi-Fi router, Solo wood outdoor stove, vacations in Ocean City, handicrafts, a 4 lb bucket of Fishers Popcorn and an 80 yard old beautifully crocheted blanket in perfect condition. Just to name a few.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The American Legion donated the use of the hall for the event and even donated a $1,000.00 check to COTA for Emily’s Lungs.com. We received several other cash donations from some of the attendees.121 friends, family and neighbors attended. A four piece musical group lent their talents to a fun evening.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Whiteford is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Harford County, MD., close to the Pennsylvania border.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Everyone enjoyed the games and contests including a 50\/50 drawing, mystery boxes, 33 Chinese auction items and 16 silent auction prizes as well as 3 dozen cupcakes donated by Rita’s Deserts of Ocean City. One cupcake buyer won a beautiful stainless steel sports watch.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This “Party for Emily” raised over $11,000.00 that will go into her account at  the Childrens Organ Transplant Association, (COTA), for her future use.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Emily was overwhelmed with the success of the event held in her honor. She has asked us to thank everyone who helped make this event success. They are all now a part of “Team Emily” Emily told us that she is getting better each day and hopes to return home to Ocean City soon. <\/span><\/div>\n
