Extreme Home Makeover Benefit Concert

Did you hear? Extreme Makeover came to Daybreak, Utah a couple of weeks ago! They picked the wonderful Gomez family to build a house for. They are going through some hardships and struggles, but stay positive. I can tell they are amazing people and an amazing family. You can read their story here.

Anyways, my friend Madi and her mom, Jenny were some of the head volunteers. They were in charge of all the food for the volunteers. It was a lot of work and they stayed up countless hours making sure everyone was well fed on site. To add to their load, Jenny decided to throw a benefit concert and silent auction to raise money for the family at last minute. She called up her friend, Jason Hewlett to help find performers. And to everyone's surprise, Thurl Bailey, David Osmond and Alex Boye offered their time and their talents to this cause. The concert was a success!

Madi always impresses me. She donated so much time and effort to help this family and make everything run smooth. She is awesome! Love you girly.

Jason Hewlett dressed up as Billy Joel. He did so many funny impressions of singers and actors. My favorite was his impression of a raptor. Check it out here!

Michael Moloney from Extreme Home Makeover came and talked to the audience. He told us more about the Gomez family and how to help Jonah.
