The Miss-Fires Speakeasy Benefit
I
am extremely grateful and consider myself very lucky to be a part of an
all women motorcycle club in NYC. We started it about a year ago and
it's been the best thing that has ever happened to me. The club we call
The Miss-Fires jumped at the chance to help my family and I. The minute I
had the courage to tell them the news of my moms situation and the
challenges we were facing, one of the girls, Moto Suzy, immediately
suggested we do a fundraiser to help. It quickly snowballed from there
and in about two and a half weeks we threw a fundraising event in a
motorcycle garage. The space was so graciously offered up by Miss-Fire
Val, who had just acquired the lease and let us use the space before she
began moving in. A truly giving and selfless woman
The Miss-Fires Speakeasy Benefit was pulled together extremely fast, because we had to. With help from coast to coast, many close friends sent product and support from as far away as California. The local NY Miss-Fires were in constant daily communication with me, posting and re-posting on social media helping to spread the word. While pooling their outside resources, we brought in a collection of amazing prizes for our raffle table, with whom I could not have done without Miss-Fire Lesley. Not only were these wonderful women donating their time and money but some pretty wonderful items from their own small businesses. The motorcycle community is a very close and strong one, the love and support is overwhelming.
On November 8th at 10pm, The Miss-Fires put our best flapper foot forward and opened the party doors to over 150 guests. They played Texas Hold'em, ate popcorn and pizza (donated by a local motorcycle-enthusiast owned restaurant), tipped the Miss-Fire 'cigarette girls' (who gave out bubble gum and chocolate cigarettes), drank specialty vintage cocktails (crafted by my extraordinary bar manager Miss-Fire Amanda) and danced amidst the smoke machines until 5am. We had an amazing time and the love was felt throughout the night.
I talked to some wonderful, encouraging people who related to our cause. Sweet friends and strangers alike didn't hesitate to come right up and offer their help and encouraging words of love for my mom. Many of them had someone they love battle breast cancer, or had a connection to Occupational Therapy and/or Autism. I had two women offer to help, wanting to volunteer their time to my mother and her clinic. They were disappointed to hear it was in Washington state. :) Another inspiring woman Elli, who I am proud to call a Miss-Fire, presented me with a check for $500 from a foundation she has a personal connection to. The Foundation is in honor of her Aunt Florina Rusi Marke, a person of energy and optimism.

I could go on and on about this event because I am so proud to be associated with this selfless group of women and to see what we can accomplish for each other. It was reflected in the character of the people that assembled on this evening, by their willingness to give their support to our benefit. The success of this party was a testament to our groups positive energy and kindness the girls show each other everyday. I am extremely touched and excited to share that we raised $5,500 for my mom and her clinic and had the best time doing it. Business upfront but always a party in the back.
Thank you Miss-Fires for your continued love and support.
