Greene Turtle Fundraiser


Dear friends,

As many of you are aware, the Lowe family has been going through quite a trial over the last few years, and more specifically the last few months. Matt had recent surgery to remove a brain tumor, but is still dealing with the effects. With medical costs adding up, we are seeking to do all we can to help them out with medical bills. Matt and Helen have 5 wonderful children, and are expecting their 6th child in late November.

This coming Monday, October 27th, friends of the Lowes will be hosting a fundraiser in their honor at the Greene Turtle Restaurant in Columbia, MD. The Greene Turtle will be giving 10% of the all the proceeds for the entire day back to Matt and Helen. So simply coming in and having lunch or dinner will help in the fundraiser. In addition, we will be having a raffle throughout the day to raise more money for them. The gifts range from restaurant gift cards, a framed redskins jersey, golf packages, Wii bundle package and photography packages. If this sounds familiar, it is because this is exactly what my brother and his wife did for Jen and I!

The location of the Columbia Greene Turtle is 8872 McGaw Road, Columbia, MD 21045. The Greene Turtle has a large restaurant area that is family friendly, so feel free to bring the family. Matt and Helen will be there for most of the day, as will Jen and I, and I know they would love to see you all there!

Dave's mom passed this onto us, and we'll be coming to the Turtle some time tomorrow, either for lunch or for dinner.

In the meantime, we'll be praying for this family.

Hey man, I just stopped by the Turtle and helped with the FUNDage. Our family is keeping Matt's in our thoughts!

I'm Ann, Matt's sister from Michigan. Just wanted to let you know how amazing it it to watch from afar the love and support Matt and Helen are getting. It's encouraging to see that you're not just talking about helping - you are actually doing something practical. Thank you for the inspiration and example.
