Calling upon a neighbor and friend, Brady Greenhalgh, who&#8217;s an incredible caterer, they set up a drive-thru dinner pickup for Cinco de Mayo. For just $35 for a couple or $55 for a family, folks could enjoy professionally prepared street tacos, Mexican corn, cilantro lime rice, and all the fixings. Supporters just drove by to pick up their meal and sent payment in by Venmo. (This is the same set-up Brady had arranged during the pandemic to both keep his team employed and keep the neighborhood fed during a stressful time for everyone! And the whole neighborhood has been missing Brady&#8217;s meals!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brady&#8217;s company, Green Hollow Catering, generously donated every dollar raised to COTA for Gillian&#8217;s TPIAT. The evening brought in $3,500 and served meals to&nbsp;59 families. Huge thanks to the wonderful neighbors and friends who showed up to support the fundraiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gillian was even able to be there for part of the time to help hand out meals, until she needed to head back to the house and rest, as she still tires very easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, it rained like cats and dogs, but that didn&#8217;t stop us from having a great time and raising money for a wonderful cause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-7-scaled.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gillian&#8217;s brother Graham, cousin Keira, stepdad Tyson, and caterer Brady Greenhalgh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-768x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgillianstpiat\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6523\/2025\/06\/image-8-scaled.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gillian&#8217;s aunt Angie with Grace Greenhalgh (Keira&#8217;s friend and Brady&#8217;s daughter) in the catering truck.
