Pink for Patty Team at Work

It's been a while since we have updated you on our team activities. Here is our most recent photo. We're keeping up with training and getting stronger.


As of this writing, Marge is $50 from her goal! YEA!!!! Cheri, Pat and I still have a ways to go. We've written our letters to let family and friends know what we are doing. Now, we start stage two - letting the general public have an opportunity to donate to the Breast Cancer 3-DAY. On June 13,14,15, and 22, at least one of us will be in front of the Lacey Wal-Mart distributing breast cancer awareness information, accepting donations in our big pink donation jar and selling "pink ribbon" items. So far we have car magnets, pink rubber duckies, bookmarks and "pink ribbon" charms. Aren't our duckies cute?? You too can own one for $1.50. Buy 2 - they're cheap. Perhaps you would like to sell some for us. Let us know and we'll get some to you as soon as possible.
Also, Leanne Stewart, a friend of Diane Dietzman, will be running a fundraiser on her website - http://www.infinitetreasures.biz/ . She will donate profits from the sale of her gift cards ($10, $25, and $50) from now to just before the walk. People can purchase and redeem the cards on the website for all sorts of things. You may want to check it out. If you like what you see, pass this information along.

Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement!

Pink for Patty

See my new shoes???

On September 12-14, 2008 I will tie up my shoelaces and head off on a 3-Day, 60-mile hike in the city of Seattle - all in an effort to do something bold in the fight for a cure for breast cancer, because no woman - not Patty - not any of the women and girls we care about - should have to deal with the fear, the diagnosis, or treatment of breast cancer.

Please consider helping by donating $$ (every penny counts) and/or helping in my fundraising effort by: (1) donating items for our garage sale, (2) buying a "Pink for Patty" T-shirt (coming soon), (3) forwarding our story and donation website to everyone you know, and of course (4) letting me know of any other creative fundraising ideas you have.

I am required to raise at least $2200 for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust (my personal goal is $3,000). You can "Donate to Dottie" directly on my fundraising website or by calling 800.996.3DAY. My participant number is 1586312.

Cheri and Pat (and possibly others) are considering joining and once they sign on the dotted line we will become a team of walkers (each needing to raise the $2,200 minimum). Please help support us.

Let's all think "Pink for Patty"!
