We're There...and yet, We Still Have a Long Way To Go...

THANKS to all our sponsors, individual and corporate, we have reached our fundracing goal!!  We have raised a whopping grand total of $15,000 for American Cancer Society!!!  This amount guarantees our entry into the 2012 Hood To Coast Relay Race!!

If you take a look at our Sponsors Page, you'll see the businesses who helped us reach this goal...but what you won't see are the countless individual contributors.  Our two biggest fundraising endeavors were Diva Night at Fleet Feet and Casey's 30th Birthday Pub Run.  The Pub Run was graciously sponsored and lead by the Huntsville Hash House Harriers.  We had a great time chasing "the hare".  Thanks to the generosity of the group, we were able to reach not only the "finish line" of the run, but also the "finish line" of the fund race as well. 

Up to now we haven't done many actual "fund raisers" in the traditional sense of the word...bake sales, car washes, that kind of thing.  But, be warned, we're about to start.  See, now that we have a guaranteed spot in the race, we have to GET THERE.  We have plane tickets, van rental, hotel rooms, food, BAND AIDS...  Wait...we don't have to buy band aids thanks to a generous donation from Hobb's Pharmacy, but you get the picture.

Along that line, you will notice there is a NEW BUTTON on the left side bar...or if you didn't, you do now, right??  Well, that's a Pay Pal donation button.  We are in the process of getting all the paperwork filed for not-for-profit status so we can't currently offer any tax deduction receipts (maybe in the near future?), however, I can assure you all the money collected will go directly to fund our race expenses.  We don't quite have a handle on the total amount we'll need just yet, but when we get that figure more firmly established, I'll post a new goal thermometer so you can track our progress!  (You can still make donations to American Cancer Society through the other "Donate" button.) 

Stay tuned for exciting upcoming opportunities to get us to the HOOD!!!  But...once again...THANK YOU for all you've done to get us this far!
