As our team managed the table at Holiday fest we had the opportunity to attend a ‘Holiday Helpers’ fundraiser. Holiday Helpers raises money for families in need during the holiday season. At this fundraiser we were generously donated the profits made by the Philly fanatic. We would like to thank Dan Flagg and his crew, the Holiday helpers, for helping us raise another $1300 towards Doug’s Journey to sight!
Our Own Candle Company: After adding up all the candles we sold 275 candles! Way to go Sellers! We made a whopping $1,584 in profit to Doug’s Journey to Sight! Thank you to everyone who helped us sell all these candles! The order has been placed and everyone will be receiving their orders no later than December 20th.
If you add all 3 of those totals we made a complete earning of $3309! It means so much to all of us at Doug’s Journey to Sight to know how many people support us. There are no words to say how thankful we are for the help we have been receiving!

All about Dougie!
So there hasn’t been much going on in the Dillon house but fundraising. Doug enjoyed himself on Main Street for holiday fest and loved all the attention. I think his favorite part was the Christmas Carolers who stopped and sang us a beautiful song! He also had a blast at the holiday helper’s fundraiser and danced himself to sleep! He was very interested in the colorful lights shining around from the dance floors lighting.
He has such a goofy personality and shows it off more and more! Lately he has been using his please and thank you hand signs so well during meal time. We have also been having lots of play dates with his friend Caleb, and they enjoy chewing on blocks together! Even though they are a little young to really sit down and play together its fun to see them interact. Caleb quickly realized Doug needed a tap to receive toys from him and they pass things back and forth all the time! They also pet each other on occasion, it is too funny! Time really needs to slow down! He is growing way to fast!
