Las Vegas Bride magazine is launching the “Saving Baby Savannah” campaign to benefit Terrence and Suzi Lighten, two local business owners in the wedding industry. Terrence and Suzi are going through the unimaginable: the fight to save the life of their child.
Two months before her due date, Suzi suffered a complete placental abruption resulting in an emergency C-section to deliver Savannah Grace. The abruption caused Savannah to suffer brain damage on both sides of her brain and remains hospitalized in Level 3 NICU. Their only hope for recovery is many sets of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatments. The first set of treatments, done over a two-month period, will cost $9,000. Savannah will more than likely need two years of treatments, with on-going booster treatments.
In honor of the Lightens, Las Vegas Bride magazine has created the “Saving Baby Savannah” campaign to help offset medical expenses. This campaign comprises quarterly, large-scale events, with all proceeds going to the Lightens.
The tentative schedule of events for the next year is:
Fall 2010: November 16, 6 p.m. Benefit Dinner at Bootlegger Bistro Copa Room
Winter 2010: January 30th Las Vegas Bridal Expo door proceeds and special raffle booth.
Spring 2011: Walk in the Park/Family Fun Day and Barbecue
Summer 2011: Bowling Tournament
Fall 2011: Benefit Dinner and Recognition of Donors Dinner
If you are interested in helping, we are looking for the following sponsors:
• Prize donations for our raffles: overnight stays, show tickets, dinners, date nights, spa treatments, etc. Our list is only limited by our imagination. You can create prize gift baskets or donate individual items.
• Monetary donations
• Sponsors or donors for events
