Tonight was an amazing night. Not for me, but for an amazing friend of mine.... Jason.....

Jason Allen is the kind of man that no matter how long its been since you've last seen him, you pick up right where you left off. He is an AMAZING single father of two beautiful girls Arianna who is almost 12 and spunky little Malia who is 3.

He has an unforgettable smile and an infections laugh. Have I mentioned he is also one of the funniest guys I've ever met? He's been with the Rutland County Sheriff's Department and has always been that guy that you want to back you (or your loved one) up. He's that Office that responds to your call with dignity and respect no matter who you are or what you've done. He is quick on his feet, intelligent and has a heart of pure gold. He's that officer that pulls you over and the last thing you say to him is THANK YOU! As your handed a ticket! I'm telling you, Jason has Class.

Jason also has Cancer.

And as if that wasn't enough, he found out a couple of days before Christmas. Can you imagine that?? Cancer and holding it together for your girls so they don't remember Christmas this way?

Tonight was Jason Allen's Benefit. As you can imagine, he hasn't been working for a few months now and his bills are stacking up I've always heard that when you step into Law Enforcement, one of the perks is having loyal friends that have your back through thick and thin. Well let me tell you, It is true. I've never seen such an organized event. Down to the very last napkin. Everything from raffles and the Chinese auction, to the Past dinner. Simply amazing. This could not and would not have been possible without the Rutland Sheriff Department, Police department or many other Law Enforcement agency's in Vermont and surrounding states.

I've been making cakes for Jason's girls for years now and so I knew that if their was one thing I could help out with tonight that it would be providing the cake! Besides the sheet cakes I made a special cake just for him and the girls to enjoy at home

Stay Strong Jason. YOU'VE GOT THIS!
