Months of training and fundraising go into every 3-Day walker’s experience and this past weekend was the culmination of the Seattle participants 60 mile journey. Congratulations to all the walkers, crew, friends, family and community. What a beautiful way to build awareness, raise money and share 3 incredible days of friendship, blisters, sore feet and sleeping in pink tents with rain coming down. You have built memories to last a lifetime. Congratulations and great job!
Last week we raised money and awareness for Cancer Lifeline’s Patient Assistance Fund and had a great time together. Awesome jewelry, decadent desserts and a lovely group of women pulling together to help those fighting cancer.
Cancer Lifeline’s Patient Assistance Fund helps patients who find themselves in need of help while battling cancer.
Special thanks to:
Liz Grant from Silpada Designs. Liz brought her fabulous jewelry and showcased Silpada’s designs and taught us how to group items to look polished and hip. Liz also donated 30% of her evening sales to the Patient Assistance Fund! The collection is unique, high quality silver with lovely combinations of stones and elements to make your wardrobe pop. Check out what we saw at: www.mysilpada.com/lizgrant
Our delicious peach/blueberry torte and decadent flour-less chocolate cake were donated by Cameron Catering. Thank you Michel and Suzanne for providing these fabulous treats for our evening. You guys are so generous and your food is amazing! Thank you! If you have an upcoming event or dinner party to prepare for, think Cameron Catering. Their website is: http://www.cameroncatering.com/
Luna’s Landing also showcased a few new pieces which will come to the website soon. Scrabble tile charms and new earring designs were popular amongst our guests. The resin rings are also adorning many more fingers today. We donated 10% of our sales to the Patient Assistance Fund too.
Reflecting on the party brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. The generosity and compassion was palpable and the good that comes of an evening of community is what makes a difference for those facing life’s challenges today. We won’t make the news but I know that together we can touch lives.
Thanks to everyone who joined us. Until next time.
YSC-Seattle is gearing up for this year’s Drink Beyond the Pink party. For those who attended last year it was a blast and the gals raised a huge amount of money to fund their support groups and activities locally. This year we are hoping for an even bigger turn out and we are collecting awesome items for the silent auction. Please mark your calendars and save the date!
Drink Beyond the Pink
October 9, 2010
7pm-Midnight
O’Asian in Downtown Seattle
More details will follow in the coming weeks.
If you would like to donate an item or experience for the auction, let me know.
Luna’s Landing participated in the first Komen Expo on Saturday and met a lot of wonderful people picking up their Race t-shirts and visiting the exhibits. It was a fun day even though the sun was shining for the first time in weeks and we were inside the exhibition hall. We raised money for Young Survival Coalition and Cancer Lifeline and met many survivors and friends who were gearing up for the Race on Sunday. Darlene Fanus was the lucky raffle winner!
Rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or participation for the Race for the Cure. The rivers of pink took over the Seattle Center and race course for a memorable day and the early count is over $1 million dollars raised for Komen! Way to go Seattle.
My friend Tammie volunteered at the Expo and the Tribute Tent where participants placed pictures and names on a wall in honor and celebration of their loved ones touched by breast cancer. Tammie is a vibrant survivor and also a member of the Seattle YSC Affiliate. She recently cut her curly locks and donated the hair to a program to make wigs for others going through treatment. Way to go Tammie!
