Mark, patron saint of the Greg Batiansila family, has set up an event this weekend that you might like. It's at a really incredible mansion/house with A TON of very cool things to bid on- like restaurant gift certificates, jewelry, bottles of fine wine, a cooking class, an overnight stay at Chula Vista waterpark, a Lexus jacket, an Ipod shuffle, an autographed Michael Buble' CD and prize pack, a house cleaning by the Maids and a gift basket/certificate to Halloween Express...plus some other late additions that will knock your socks off.

My best friend Greg Batiansila and his wife Jen had their daughter Zoe on March 22 and she was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 three days later.

Despite having been given only a few days to live, she is still fighting for life on a daily basis and has beaten all odds by making it this far. She's provided joy and hope to numerous friends and family members who have met her.

She has also touched people around the globe who have read about her short yet impactful life on Greg's blog http://batiansila.blogspot.com/. Because of mounting medical bills and Jen being out of work to care for Zoe, the Batiansilas are struggling financially.

Right now they need our help and ultimately they want to establish a fund or scholarship in Zoe's name to help other families affected by this disorder. We are inviting you to come celebrate Zoe's life and to help raise money for this wonderful family.

For only $30 per person, we will provide food and drinks in an amazing house that a good friend is allowing us to use for this special event. We will also have a silent auction featuring some very cool items (bid on the chance to be a Packers QB for a game - just kidding) that are still being gathered and catalogued.

If possible I'll update the list on Evite or on http://zoemeanslifefor.us every few days. If you work for or know of anyone who would be willing to donate an item to this auction, please contact me and I'll email you the donation form.

Please join us for a night of celebration as we raise a toast to Zoe and gather for a good fall party. Mark, Mandi, Erika, Andrea and Ron
