With the flip into the New Year and with approval from the mods (thank you), so starts my work for the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life. Last year I broke the $10,000 barrier for all-time fundraising. I am very proud of this achievement. This year my goal is again $2,500 but I showed last year I can do more then that. I am already onto a good start at $465! Not only is my company fully sponsoring the team this year but we're going to double our members on the team from 6 to 15 or more as we have a local Crossfit Training group wanting to join us. The event will be Saturday June 18. If you'd like to donate the link is: http://tinyurl.com/peterrelay2016 As a bonus, I offer this to my Seti friends. If I hit $2500 in fundraising by May 1st, I will personally donate to Seti. Won't be huge due to the fact that I donate a lot personally to Relay myself but I will promise this. I will ask Angela to independently verify if and when this occurs. I will not be thanking people by name due to an error I made last year of identifying someone who didn't want to be identified--but I will acknowledge raising amounts in my totals. :) Thank you for all your support!!! |

Was at a dinner with our National Executive VP Wednesday night and scored a $250 donation from her. Now just have to see if she sends in the check as promised! |

Friends when we started off January we started my annual Relay for Life fundraising effort. With my goal of $2500, we've made it to $10 shy of the halfway mark which is amazing!! Please consider helping me finish this in February! We can do it!! $1260 to go and I'll shut my trap until next January-I promise!!

Up to $1410! I was asked today why I'm not recognizing individual Seti-affiliated donators specifically. Last year I made an error in recognizing someone by name who wished to be anonymous. Entirely my error so to avoid the possibility of it occurring again I'm not doing name-specific recognition. You all matter to this effort though and you know who you are!!! Thank you!! |
