As the year comes to a close, we\u2019re looking back with grateful hearts on a community fundraiser held for COTA for Ollie Fox this past November at Hope Church in Lutz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FoxFest for Hope brought together many meaningful elements \u2014 food, games, blind and silent auctions, face painting, and a wide variety of vendors generously donating their products and proceeds. There was also an opportunity to spend time with Grandma NoNo, and a heartfelt message shared by Madison and Taylor that grounded the day in purpose and reminded everyone why this support matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of FoxFest was made possible through the combined efforts of volunteers, donors, vendors, organizers, and supporters, many of whom contributed in ways that were not always visible. The care, time, and generosity poured into this event were felt throughout the day and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this collective effort, nearly $25,000 was raised to support COTA for Ollie Fox, helping with transplant-related expenses through the Children\u2019s Organ Transplant Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approach the end of the year, we know many people following along were unable to attend FoxFest in person. If you weren\u2019t able to be there \u2014 or if you feel led to give \u2014 year-end donations to COTA for Ollie Fox can still make a meaningful impact. \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2764\ufe0f Donate here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are deeply thankful for a community that continues to show up with compassion, generosity, and purpose. Thank you for supporting FoxFest for Hope. \ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
