Normally we don’t start raising funds for this until August, but with the lack of Team In Training we figured it is time to start hitting everyone much earlier for what will be our annual fund raiser and to reach beyond the stars when we set our goal. The past couple of years we have been able to raise a couple thousand dollars without really pushing too deeply into our pockets so this year we have decided to buckle down and set our goal at $10,000.
That’s not a typo. LLS does some amazing work that have touched our lives personally as well as many thousands of other lives out there. It seems all too often we hear of yet another friend or acquaintance that is being touched by cancer and so it is time to step up our efforts and do our very best to ensure that those stories have a positive ending like ours.
While I would love each of you to give enough to reach our goal, what I think would be even more impressive would be to grow the size of our team and have even more people join us in the effort to raise a minimum of $100 and more importantly show your support by attending the walk. So, if you are interested in joining us for the walk, mark down October 20th on your calendar.
If you want to show your support you can go to the team page at http://pages.lightthenight.org/ntx/Plano12/teamcutler2012. Here you can donate or even better, you can sign up to join us for the walk. Feel free to share the link with others to help, at the very least, spread the word of the wonderful things that LLS does in the fight against blood cancers.
If you have any fund raising ideas or just questions about what we are doing, please contact me at aaron@teamfricke.com.
