Madison Claire Foundation

Last Wednesday night, we had the honor of being involved in an extraordinary evening. The Millington's, a family we have gotten to know over the past year, organized an American Idol Finale Bash at Prestwick Golf Course in Woodbury. Their foundation was created in the memory of their daughter, Madison Claire Millington, and dedicated to helping children and families diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and other life threatening illnesses & disabilities. All proceeds from the evening went toward the building of a barrier free playground
in Woodbury. The event was a tremendous success with over 50 families attending and

$15 000 raised for the playground! Whoohoo!! And to top it off, everyone there had a blast!! There was a kids' buffet, an adult buffet, kids' raffle, kids (and adult) karaoke, a silent auction and TWO HUGE SCREENS showing the American Idol finale! We even had the pleasure of two Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders who posed for photos and signed autographs.

Whether you were cheering for David Cook or David Archuleta, everyone went home a winner! Thanks to everyone there who made the evening such a success!!
