Guess what?
We did it! The Mothers Milk Bank of New England won $10,000 in the Ideablob contest! The official announcement was made today at an event in Boston.
In addition to the prize, the Milk Bank got some wonderful publicity, and the whole idea of donor milk banking got some exposure to people who had probably never heard of it. It's such wonderful news.
Thank you many times over to everyone who voted, who encouraged friends and family to vote, who blogged about it, and who wished us luck! You made a big difference for the milk bank and for families in our region.

Great news! Just this morning I checked Ideablob to see if they had declared a winner yet, but they hadn't at that point. So glad to hear the milk bank won!!
