We’re in the final two weeks of the Haven House Pancake Palooza Fundraiser, and I need your help to bring home the biggest prize of all –Â support for Haven House families. Every year, I take home the champion trophy because of your support – let’s keep the streak alive! More importantly, every dollar raised goes towards Haven House, helping families experiencing homelessness get back on their feet.
Over the years I’ve flipped, I’ve poured, I’ve taken a pie to the face, danced, sang, worn ridiculous costumes – and probably ate my weight in pancakes – all to raise the funds needed for Haven House. But we’re not done yet. Haven House families need our support now more than ever, and I need your help to cross the finish line strong.
Every dollar counts. Every share helps. Let’s stack this fundraiser sky-high and make these last two weeks the best yet.
I’d love for you to continue to be part of this tradition. Check out this short video where I share why this event means so much to me.
Please join me to support the families at Haven House with a generous donation to Pancake Palooza today – every dollar makes a real difference. Let’s make this year’s Pancake Palooza the best one yet!Â
With gratitude, 
Mark
