Boots ‘N Balls

Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well!

After a lot of thought, I've decided to step away from organizing fundraisers and community events. I've done a lot of reflecting and I'm sure you all know I turned 30 this year and I thought about how I wanted to live the next 30 and unfortunately it doesn't involve organizing events. As most of you know I have fundraised, and organized community events for a long time. I mean even in high school I was class president (still hold that title) and before that I helped my dad with FFFF stuff.

I am a mom of two now and I just want to be a mom and wife. My husband has always been so supportive and watched tober anytime I had meetings or events. My kids are getting older everyday and I do not want to miss anything in their lives that happens or any milestones that take place. I want them and my husband to have my undivided attention always.

The first 30 years of my life were about pleasing other people and giving back as much I could. To be honest, my next 30 years do not look like that. They involve being there for my kids, planning birthday parties, driving them to games, practices, etc. They involve me now giving the support to my husband that he has given to me for so long. It's time for me to give as much as I can to my family.

I appreciate you all and everything you have done to help me not only to organize Boots ‘N Balls but all of my other events that I have put together.

I love you all and I love this community, but it's time for me to hang my hat. I am excited to see where the next 30 years will take me.

Much love,
Sara Mare Akers ❤

Hello everyone!

The Boots N Balls Committee wanted to let you all know that unfortunately we will have to cancel our benefit scheduled for February of 2021. We waited it out as long as we could to see if we would be able to pull this event off safely, but with the current rise is Covid cases and with certain restrictions that are put in place it would be very difficult to proceed. We are all very saddened by not being able to make a difference in someones life this upcoming February, but we know we are making the right choice by keeping everyone safe and healthy.

We will see you all in 2022!!

Thank you all for your nominations, please allow us time to go through the nominations and choose a beneficiary. Thank you!
