Our walk is less than 2 weeks away! 11 days to be exact… We’re just over halfway to our goal of $12,000 so we’ll be kicking the fundraising into high gear over the next week and a half. It’s going to be a challenge to reach our goal, but I’m not going to admit defeat just yet… Fact is, we’ve managed to raise over $6,000 while having fun and that’s amazing!
We had our spaghetti dinner this past Friday and without a doubt, it was the most fun activity yet. It was the only activity where the entire team was present and we had a great time! We all dressed in pink and some of us wore pink wigs and boas. Anything to stand out! Scotyz was packed because of tickets we had sold but also because there were two other groups there for other reasons. We were concerned that there wouldn’t be enough space to seat everyone, but the extra people ended up working in our favour. Everyone was able to sit and eat and the extra people gave donations and bought raffle tickets. The spaghetti was actually pretty good, the atmosphere was fun, and Solstice rocked! Between ticket sales, raffle ticket sales and donations, we managed to raise just over $3000!
It was really awesome to see the amount of people who came out to support us. It’s also amazing to see the dedication from some of our team members and the work that some people put in to ensure the success of this event. More importantly, it was all the donations (financial and otherwise) that people made that really made the night all the more special. We didn’t have to pay a cent to Scotyz- all the food was donated as well as gift certificates to be given as prizes. All our door prizes and hockey tickets were donations from friends and businesses. We even have a friend who’s a real estate agent and is willing to donate a portion of his commissions made over the next year to our team. A special thanks to the following people and businesses:
- Scotyz Bar
- Bruce Stam- Old Orchard Pub
- Shanna Warnock- Partylite
- Angelo Randazzo- Aqualud Spa
- Mitchell Moss- Crofton Moore Management inc.
- Dr. Pascal Nguyen- Clinique Dentaire Dr. Pascal Nguyen and Associates
- Isaac Schuster- REDSTONE APPAREL/FIRETORN
- And thanks to the team for just being awesome! We rock!
So I’ve posted some pictures below, and as it’s been pointed out on a couple of occasions, I am wearing (yet again) what has become my fundraising tube top. In my defense, pink is not a colour I have in my wardrobe so my fundraising outfit options are limited. Enjoy the pics!
