Next Saturday, December 19th, the boys of raannt are hosting “A Disco Christmas”, a charity event/night of craziness to benefit a family from the United Christmas Service. Our goal is not to simply meet the minimum of our expectations for this family, but to give them an all out, miraculous Christmas unlike any other. Also, since talking to the father, we have learned that the family is without heat. We are attempting to raise enough money to give them an amazing Christmas experience, but also to be able to help them turn their heat back on again! The event, which will be held at Forty-Five Degrees(Bill Pratt, the owner has graciously donated his place for the evening!)will have special appearances from local celebrities(including the RadioNOW crew as well as former Miss Indiana USA’s as well as others), internationally known DJ John Larner and an Andrew Christian fashion show. Whether it’s the beginning of your night,just a stop on the way or where you plan to spend the entire evening, please come out and contribute to a great cause!

The family is a single father with five children ranging in age from 6-18. He is also the caretaker for his elderly mother who is sick and unable to work. He was also injured while working construction and is unable to work until he has completed physical therapy.

We hope you can all attend the event, which has a admission/donation of $5 at the door. We have had several requests about how to make donations of gifts or cash contributions if you are unable to attend. If you are interested, please contact us at raannt@gmail.com. Come on folks, make this an amazing Christmas for this family…it won’t take a lot. And if you’re still interested, The United Christmas Service is still looking to have many families adopted for this Christmas!!!! Check out their website for more information!!!

In the next few months, the boys of raannt are hoping to continue to host charity events with surprising themes and elaborate draw, all in the hopes of having great fun to raise money for little known charities! Watch as you’ll see other events announced, such as The Original Halloween!!! And if you’ve been noticing the comments about TEASE, well…

The boys of raannt are currently planning an event, “A Disco Christmas”, which will benefit a family in need for Christmas. In the next few days we will post more information which will be hosted on December 19th at Forty-Five Degrees.

The family we are hosting is a single father who is currently unemployed, looking for work, raising five children and his sick mother. His children range in age from 6-18. While I was talking to him on the phone, I asked questions about what kind of work he was looking for, needs for the family, etc. Our goal being that we are trying to give this family the most magical Christmas they have ever had. “Honestly,” He said, “I just appreciate you guys doing anything. I really didn’t know how I was going to tell my children they weren’t going to have Christmas. My youngest still believe in Santa Claus.”

Most of what he asked for on his wish list were children’s clothes, books, a learning toy for his six year old son, a diary for his daughter and jewelry for his oldest daughter. Knowing we would probably be able to get all of these things, I asked him what would be one luxury item they might like which we could find a donor for, thinking he might ask for a gaming system or a new television. “We probably won’t be able to supply a Mercedes.” I laughed. His laughter filled the other end of the phone. “Honestly sir, if you could just get our gas turned back on that would be great. It’s supposed to be really cold this winter and we don’t have heat. We have a $900 outstanding bill and they won’t turn it back on unless we pay $150.” I sat stunned in my car. For years, I have worked in social services, but I had forgotten what true neediness really is for some people.

Minutes after I got off of the phone, I was calling friends and a good friend was willing to donate the $150 to get the gas turned back on. “Surely, we can find people to pay the rest?” She questioned. Three hours later and numerous, numerous calls with Citizen’s Gas has led me to believe that the gas company doesn’t really care if people freeze and don’t really want to get paid being I had to jump through tons of red tape to try and get them heat, of which they won’t have until the earliest Monday. Think about that as you sleep warm tonight. I am so frustrated with the gas company you have NO idea! Politicians, do something about that. Letting young children freeze when someone is willing to pay the bill!!!

Needless to say, Alex and I are super excited about helping this family have the most magical and miraculous Christmas ever!!! If you’d like to help in ANY way, let us know. And not just in gifts either. Years and years of social service networking have taught me we can get this family bus passes, employment, food for months to come, etc…Think outside the box. Of course, A Mercedes would be nice too!!!

When we heard that Levi Johnston, famous for fathering a child in the Sarah Palin Clan, was going to be posing absolutely nude for Playgirl, we suddenly got all political, wondering just what the TRUE definition behind “poll average” was…Needless to say, we were truly let down…

Here they are, in all their glory…to say the least…Poor, poor Levi…(as found on www.omgblog.com)

Just goes to show…you can never really count on politicians to reveal the real truth…
