Kick Off/Informational Party for Crew for a Cure - Boston 2009

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

I am very excited to announce that I will be hosting a Kick-Off Party and Informational Night here at my house in Victor on Thursday, January 29th at 6:30 PM.  

Did you walk last year?   Do you just sign up to walk this year?    Are you interested in walking but want to get more information on the walk?  Do you just need a night out with a bunch of crazy, fun women?  If you answered yes to any of those questions, THIS is the meeting/party for you!!!

What are we going to do at the Kick-Off Party? 

•    Celebrate the $45,000+ we raised last year!  
•    Share stories and laughs of past walk weekends.
•    Enjoy pictures of events.
•    Meet new team members and others interested in participating.
•    Drink Wine!  
•    I will give a presentation which will include information on signing up, fundraising requirements, specifics on what happens walk weekend, transportation to and from Boston, more about Crew for a Cure and how we are set up, what it is like to crew a walk weekend, fundraising, training, etc.

Can’t attend the meeting?   I will set up a conference call number for people to call in and listen to the meeting for our out of town walkers and crew members.    Please let me know if you will be listening on the conference call so I can make sure I have enough bridges.    Dial in information to follow.

What should I bring to the party?   Here are the assignments for what current members should bring –
•    Board Members – a bottle of wine
•    DC, NYC and Boston Crew Members - Appetizer
•    Walkers from DC – Dessert

If you fit into more than one of these categories bring the first one in the list that applies to you.   If you just read that and don’t know what to bring, bring anything.   Just make sure we have enough wine!     New and interested walkers and crew members…just bring you and any friends that might be interested!!   We can’t wait to meet you!!  

Please know that by attending this informational meeting you are NOT committed to walk, although I am sure after hanging out with our group you will want to!   We really had a BLAST on both walk weekends our group participated in in 2008.   If you are interested in walking in another city but want to just get information on our experiences, come join us too!   It is a great opportunity to get a night out and find out more about our group and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer!  

Please RSVP as soon as possible so I can figure out if my house is going to be big enough for all of us.     If not, I might rent out a room at a local church, etc.

I can’t wait to see everyone!!   Get ready to laugh and have a good time!!   

I am so excited to get things rolling again!   Go Crew!

I am very excited to announce that all of the cupcakes were sold by 1:30 at Victor Days!!   THANK YOU for all of your support making this event so successful.   With you donations, Crew for a Cure made $800.00 to go toward our walk in Boston.

Amazing!!   We funded an entire grant that was distributed during closing ceremonies in DC at the end of walk weekend and I am sure with the help of the money we raised we will educate so many on breast cancer and save lives in the process!!  

THANK YOU to each and every one of you that made a donation, attended a fundraiser, or supported our cause in any way.

Christy was honored on Mother's Day at the Rochester Red Wings Game.

Christy threw out the first pitch for Pluta Cancer Center, the cancer center where she received all of her treatments.

All of the players wore pink jerseys for Breast Cancer and they were all auctioned off at the game for Pluta Cancer Center.

Christy threw a PERFECT strike! Of course!

Here is the link to the article that appeared in the Democrat and Chronicle today.
