Fundraiser: Dawn Rack, a selfless woman who helped anyone in need
Hello all. My name is Greg, Dawn's brother. As you all now know, my sister has suddenly passed away. Thankfully, it was a quick passing and she is up in heaven with our mother watching down on her 2 beautiful children and family/friends. She was an absolute kind soul that was always able to find the bright side of even the darkest of days. She always set time aside for anyone who came to her for help no matter how big or small the circumstance was and never asked for anything in return. She always put the needs of everyone else before hers and always wanted everyone to be happy. She was full of life and was taken way to early from all of us. She spent her life making tons of friends, creating memories with her family and helping others through various charities including her own...HK mission. She made it her mission to bring happiness to children in hospitals even during their darkest of days. It is my hope that you would find it in your heart to help her family in an absolute devastating time. The intention of this is to assist her husband and children with arrangements they make and anything past their immediate needs for this will be distributed to her children hunter and kendra for their future. I thank you for even taking the time to read this...even if you don't donate...you now know how truly amazing Dawn Rack...a mother, sister, daughter, friend and wife was. Her spirit will live on forever!!!

This Woodsy Fall Wedding in the Poconos Was Full of Ethereal, Earthy Romance
The wedding planning dream for Emily + Austin was to tie the knot somewhere surrounded by nature—bonus points if the venue could serve as a getaway for their friends + fam.
When they found Magnolia Streamside Resort in the heart of the Poconos they knew it was the spot. And from there their warm, autumnal early October wedding came to life.
