The Place of Possibility

Nicole Tenuta is a young woman who caught my attention in a big way as she created her own fundraising event for our family.  I received this message from Nicole in June of 2016 at a time when our joy and excitement of Zach’s progress was about to be replaced by a journey we couldn’t at that time even conceive of: 

 “Hey there! So I belong to the Miracles for Zach page and I'm also an LMP alumni Class of 2013. I plan to attend the Cocktails for Zach event at Shula's and it gave me an idea. I work at Friendly Confines in Lake Mary and I would like to put together a corn hole tournament to benefit Zach…” 

Nicole, an acquaintance, a young woman who had some contact with Zachary and Zoe through school but being a few years ahead, they weren’t in the same circle of close friends, took it upon herself, to create this amazing event, host it on her own with no input from us and raise approximately $2000.00 to support Zachary’s overwhelmingly expensive routine as we did everything we knew possible to save our son.

 The Founding Board of Place of Possibility Inc., chose to hold two annual events as the foundational fundraisers for the organization, one being Black Ties and Butterflies and the second a Corn Hole Tournament.  Nicole, a working college student at UCF, studying marketing with a passions for events, was asked if she’d like to do the event again, this time with our support.  It was so heart lifting to see the authentic excitement she had for being asked to participate again.   Nicole even suggested that she would like to create another event for us and it was at that point I asked Nicole if she would be interested in heading up our Event Fundraising Committee.  We are so blessed and honored to have this heart centered Master Wave Maker on our Team of Possibility!
