TWO Golf Tournaments

Update on the upcoming events this summer: TWO golf tournaments are set to help Kirk with ongoing expenses of his recovery!  Here they are:

Friends Helping Friends 20th Annual Golf Event
June 16, Oak Marsh Golf Course, Oakdale, MN

Proceeds will primarily benefit Kirk. There are a variety of ways to get involved including sponsoring a golf hole, golfing at noon, and dinner at 5:30 with raffles, auction items and other games.  Tickets for golf and dinner are $125 and tickets to the dinner only are $35.  See the flyer below for more details, and there's also a sign up form.

You can make reservations or get more information about the event by contacting Sandy Sharer at sandysharer@gmail.com.

Pay it Forward Classic
July 11, Prestwick Golf Club, Woodbury, MN

Join Bell Mortgage and the Roloff Team for the inaugural golf tournament, complete with shotgun start, followed by dinner, a silent auction, and live auction. There are Paypal links on the website for golf registration, dinner party registration, or simply to donate if you are unable to attend. 100% of the proceeds will be divided among the three recipients, including Kirk!

If you have additional questions about the event, or if you'd like to volunteer, become a sponsor, or inquire about purchasing a table for dinner (seats 10), please contact Sara or Adam Roloff through the website's "Contact Us" tab.  The link to the website is below.

Pay It Forward Golf Classic

As Kirk prepares to go home this week, his supporters are putting together additional fundraising efforts to help with improvements to Kirk and Melissa's house.

• Pay It Forward Classic

Bell Mortgage and The Roloff Team are hosting a golf tournament on Monday, July 11, 2016, at Prestwick Golf Club in Woodbury.  Inspired by their employer's benefit program, Bell Mortgage employees have graciously donated their time, energy, and money to give back to three deserving recipients.  And guess what?! Kirk has been selected as one of the three! The inaugural Pay It Forward Golf Classic will honor these recipients and help ease the financial burden of their situations.  The website provides more information about the program and inspiring videos from past pay-it-forward recipients.

The golf tournament will have a shotgun start, followed by dinner, a silent auction, and live auction. There are Paypal links on the website for golf registration, dinner party registration, or simply to donate if you are unable to attend. 100% of the proceeds will be divided among the three recipients.

If you have additional questions about the event, or if you'd like to volunteer, become a sponsor, or inquire about purchasing a table for dinner (seats 10), please contact Sara or Adam Roloff through the website's "Contact Us" tab.

We hope to see you there!

Team Kirk on Fire

There was a lot of energy in the Woodbury Life Time Fitness gym on Saturday, and we definitely packed the house!  The silent auction was also a huge success, with donations from local businesses and friends, which included everything from tailoring services to gift baskets and sports memorabilia. All totaled, we raised $8,000 for Kirk and his family, in just a few short hours!

THANK YOU doesn't even begin to express our gratitude for everyone who came out to support the Ingrams - you are all AMAZING!  To our instructors and organizers, especially Mike and Katie Bjornson, Jeremy Ries, Sokun Thach, and the Life Time family, we really appreciate all of the effort you put in to supporting Kirk and his family.

Here are some quick snapshots from the morning:

While one group was working hard in the gym, another Team Kirk crew was breaking down walls and preparing Kirk and Melissa's bathroom for a remodel. THANK YOU to all who helped out with the demo.  We're excited to see the final product!  Here are some pictures of the progress:

Event Reminder!

Don't forget to join us this Saturday, March 5 at 9:00 am, at the Woodbury Life Time Fitness, for another sweat session in honor of Kirk!  You don't need to be a member to participate.  Two classes will be offered for $25, and there will be an auction and prizes!

We hope to see you there!


And, just for fun - probably the most adorable picture of Alexa yet!

Also, this weekend, a group of people came together to sweat and stretch in honor of Kirk.  Here are a few pictures, which definitely don't give justice to the pain and difficulty breathing we all felt during the workout!

A huge THANK YOU to Mike and Katie Bjornson for kicking our butts, and to Sara for helping us relax with some yoga afterwards!  We appreciate you taking time out of your Saturday to lead a class for us.

For those who are interested, Mike will be hosting another event like this at the Woodbury Life Time, sometime in late February/early March.  More details to come!

Event Reminder!

Don't forget to JOIN US this Saturday, January 23, as we move our bodies and strengthen our spines for TEAM KIRK!  Information below and on the "Calendar" page.  Follow signs once you get into the building. We'll also have some Team Kirk shirts and bracelets available!

Thank you to everyone who placed orders with KEEP Collective!  The designs we've seen are great, and Melissa earned a hostess gift as well!

 

Event Updates

There are a couple of events coming up soon, so we want to make sure everyone knows about them!

Monday, January 11, 2016 - 8:00-9:00 pm

This is an online event through KEEP Collective, where you can design your own bracelets or necklaces!  Using letters, charms, or pre-printed words, create a piece of jewelry that you will cherish, in honor of Kirk, Melissa, Alexa, and family.  All after-tax profits go to Kirk and Melissa, and Melissa will even receive special hostess gifts!  

The event website is already live, and you can check it out here: keep-collective.com/soc/qc1kp

The date and time are significant, because you can ask questions or preview mock designs from the event coordinator, Nissa Jean.  For more information, please contact Nissa through the Facebook event site:  KEEP Collective - Facebook Event

Here are a couple pictures, to spark some creative design ideas!

Saturday, January 23, 2016 - 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Move your body and strengthen your spine, while helping us reach a goal of $2,500 for Kirk's ongoing therapy.  Instructors from the Woodbury Life Time Fitness will be donating their time to lead a Strength/Conditioning class at 9:00 am, and Yoga afterwards at 10:00 am.  The classes are intended for all fitness levels, with modifications for beginners as well as advanced participants. Woodbury Lutheran Church has graciously offered space for this event.  Please bring your own yoga mat, if you have one!  More details can be found on the "Calendar" page and through the Facebook group.

As always, THANK YOU for your continued love and support.
