Donating a wedding for a good cause

We had the opportunity to give a gift like no other. Thanks to the generousity of Roger Kahn of 550 Trackside in downtown Lawrencville, Georgia, Johanna Ankermiller and Todd Stickland had their dream wedding. Roger contacted me a few months ago about a bride he met that has had to postpone her wedding 3 times due to her battle with cancer. With money being tight from mounting medical bills, Johanna never thought she and her love would ever be able to have the wedding. Roger donated his facilty and many other companies donated their services to create a wedding day that was so special for her, and her dreams were realized.

CBS and NBC were onsite to document this amazing event as was Simply Wed Magazine. I just want to take the time to honor those who gave as much as the could to create Johanaa's Dream.
