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!!
