Halfway Hustle!

A new burst of motivation and inspiration was served up to me this morning in the form of a fabulous brunch complete with bagels, an assortment of schmear, and amazing stories straight from the souls of those I have been fund raising for these past couple months!

The CCFA Team Challenge Halfway Brunch was this morning, and along with my teammate Kasia I met and talked with my Team Challenge runners and raisers! And what an awesome bunch they are; survivors, warriors, ambassadors, and overall just really great people all working together toward a common goal- to find a cure for the diseases which their friends, family, and in many cases even they themselves suffer from.

I have a newly renewed drive! I am 32% of the way to my lofty goal at $10,000- I don't need to raise that much money, I WANT to raise that much money. I want to do everything I can to have an impact and I want to plan every fund raiser I can to increase awareness about the organization and it's great purpose!

So here is the list of upcoming fund raisers- put them on your calendar, tell your friends, and come out to help! I don't have Crohn's, I don't have colitis, I don't even have a full time job- I am just a 23 year old girl using what I have (the ability to create a fabulous event out of nothing and all my spare time) to do something for a cause and organization that I believe in. Now it is your turn to do the easy part- come have fun at one of our events! Pull up my website and throw me a few bucks! And share my blog and website with your other friends and family so they can do the same!!

October 21- Arbonne Party! 7pm- RSVP with your address so we can send you a sample and get you the info!

October 23- Bake Sale at the Riverhead King Kullen! 1-5pm, get delicious treats and stock up on Halloween goodies!

And with that- hopefully I will have reached my goal and the next thing I can focus on is crossing that finish line in Vegas! Thanks and good night! http://www.active.com/donate/lv10longisland/LVABoyer

Picture updates- Variety Show SUCCESS!

 The Fabulous Benefit Variety Show was a huge success! It was such a fun night filled with wonderful people and we raised over $3,000! We had a few expenses but all in all it was a great fund raiser and we have a great show that we can whip out on any stage at any time....so I think we definitely need to do it again!

And hopefully we will! But a special thanks to everyone who came out and supported our cause and our show! We even got to see Stacey and Alyssa (not Ivy ;) our mentors for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America!

This is our full cast!
Shannon, Christine, Kasia, Bethany, Lauren, me, Ashley, Bobby, Erin, my dad Rick, Adam, and Fitzy! The only person missing is Kim!

Our sign and raffle tables!

Our silent auction and raffle were also a marvelous success! And the sign that Kasia's dad and my mom made for us just made the entire thing come together! Thanks!!

Here is a shot from our Cell Block Tango number! You know- some guys really can't hold their arsenic!

This is me singing Rose's Turn. A special thanks to Betty Birnbaum and Michael Disher for their direction and to Kim Makowski for her amazing piano playin' skills! It was so much fun to be Rose for a night :)

 My amazing team mates and fellow producers of the event!

This night would not have happened without them, Adam designed everything and Kasia and her amazing organizational skills kept us all on track! It was so fun working with you guys!
