Thank you to everyone that came out and supported our very fun auction! It was a huge success.
Over 50 items were up for bid. I didn’t even get all of the items listed, people were so generous. So we will do something else in the future (another auction, raffle, something fun). Everything sold. Many items went for above the retail value, while other winning bidders got great deals on items that went for less.
The grand total of money raised for Penny was $4300.00! This will be an amazing help towards the mounting hospital bills and I’m sure Children’s Hospital thanks you, too. 
The auction posts kind of take up the blog site for the moment, so if you want to just catch up on past mom & dad’s posts, click on “Family Updates” in the top navigation menu.
We have also received several very cool sports memorabilia items to auction. We will be listing these items on Ebay soon and will let you know when those are available. Items include a Joe Montana autographed football helmet and a John Wooden UCLA autographed basketball. There are also several rookie Topp’s cards including Wayne Gretzky and Tony Gwinn. So check back for details on that.
This morning, sweet Penelope is still hooked up to life support. They have tried to wean her off the ventilators a few times but she is unable to maintain healthy oxygen levels. I’m sure Aaron or Carina will be online soon to give you a rundown of the weekends events, but please continue to pray for Penny. Her first birthday is approaching and they we are hoping and praying hard that she will get to be home for her special day.
Thanks again for everyone’s support. We could not have done this without all your support and donations! THANK YOU!

Thank you for coming out to support beautiful Penny and her amazing family! This morning, Penny remains on life support due to a collapsed lung and her inability to breath on her own last night. Please continue to pray for this beautiful baby that she can catch a break and start getting better rather than worse.
This weekends auction is open NOW and will close Sunday, March 21st at 10pm Pacific Daylight Saving Time.
BIDDING:
Leave your bid as a comment. Bids must be in whole US dollars. Be sure to leave a valid email address because if you win, I need to be able to contact you. Sometimes comments will go into moderation, if this happens, be assured that I will be checking comments throughout the day and they will appear in the order they were received. Check back often so you are not outbid!
Scroll all the way to the bottom! We have approximately 50 items up for bid, from amazing weekend getaways to adorable tutu’s. I truly believe we have something for everyone and the community has really come together to make some great donations for today.
When the auction closes, if you have the winning bid, I will email you with the Pennies4Penny paypal address. Payments must be made within 24 hours and then I will arrange shipment of your prize.

If you are not already familiar with Penny’s story, please start here. It explains how we ended up raising money and supporting this beautiful little girl who is diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma (Cancer).

We have a late add to our auction today, but the extremely sought after Bambina Ballerina Fairytopia Hairbow Holder deserved a quick add.
Bambina Ballerina is not currently taking new orders and they made this especially with Penny in mind. It is one of a kind. She told me it was made while “thinking of Penny and imagining what kind of girl she would turn out to be.”
