$6,767.01!!
As of this writing, that figure is the total amount of donations that our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer team recorded.
We had no big sponsors, backers, or funds matching. This was literally a dollar by dollar effort.
The effort started in ernest at Wizard World with Jen and Anthony's raffle and Fitz' target range events.
My thanks to them.
We also had two donation station efforts in Algonquin and Mokena. Again, my thanks to all who particpated.
I had some successes with my armbands for donation, the raffle of home canned jams and produce at the Master Gardener Pot Luck and the Jedi Costume raffle.
To put the icing on the cake, Rob Hamilton and Janine Jender launched a highly successful patch sale.
My thanks go out to all who beat up their families, friends and co-workers for donations. Thanks also to those who crawled out of bed early on Sunday morning and showed up to walk with remarkable enthusiasm. To all of our grizzled veterans and the awesome new members and recruits that came.
I think that the American Cancer Society said it best when they asked us to lead the walk as it stepped off. It was indeed a great honor.
My deepest and most sincere thanks to all of our partipants!
