Today was awesome!! It was absolutely beautiful outside - we could not have asked for a better day to have the Great Strides walk. As always, I was surrounded by my amazing family and friends.
Here's our group picture. I hate that we didn't spread out as much as last year and some faces are blocked, but its all I have...

Don't you just love the tent? I sure do!! Lighthouse Advertising Group, Inc. kindly donated it to us!! I've kept it a secret and was so excited for everyone to see it! You couldn't miss us :)
Here's the back of our shirt which shows our fabulous sponsors of team CF Stinks:

I'm happy to say we raised over $11,400!! Holy cow!!! I'm so excited!! I'll post the confirmed final total once I recheck my math and everything posts :)

As I said, it was an amazing day. My cup runneth over. There is nothing like being surrounded by those you love.
Wow! Amazing fundraising. Any tips? I am barely over $1000.00!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was so happy to reach $10,000 again this year. I have a lot of luck with businesses donating. They need the tax write-off :) Once I get a donor, they usually continue helping each year. So its important to build a base, but still try to reach new ones.
