When I participated in the walk back in 2002, my friends and family generously supported me by pulling out their checkbooks and writing checks to Susan G. Komen. I raised over $2,000 this way. I have already received close to $200 in traditional donations this year and I hope this continues to grow. And while traditional donations will always be a part of my fundraising plan, I wanted to find other creative ways to raise money. So I'm excited to tell you more about some unique ways to support me.
Saving Sisters Candles
These 100% soy wax candles are handmade in the Shenandoah Valley by Forgotten Creek Candles. The scents available are:
Linen Fresh
Very Vanilla
Cinnamon Stick
Hot Baked Apple Pie
Fresh Peach
Spring Lilac
The candles cost $14 in Texas (it's a long journey) and $12 in Virginia. We will be taking orders through April. Payment is due when you make your order. The candles will be delivered to you at the end of May. The net proceeds will be donated to the cause. I hope you love these candles as much as I do. Contact either me or Christa (my sister) to order.
Necklace and Bracelet
About a minute after I officially signed up for the walk, I decided to contact Kim to see if she was up for designing a necklace and bracelet to benefit the cause. She agreed and designed two adorable pieces.
The necklace cost $50 and the bracelet cost $35. Kim will donate $7 to the cause for each item sold. If you are interested, contact me.
Paws for a Cause
While memory stones are on hiatus until Memorial Day weekend, that doesn't mean you and your dog have to wait to support the cause. Come on out to DogBoy's and join us for an afternoon of fun on April 24th at 1:00. We will play games, run a mini Rally course and have a dog trick contest. Prizes include a $50 Tomlinson's giftcard, $20 Alamo Drafthouse giftcard, Go Local Austin card & more. The cost is just $20 a dog and will be entirely donated to the cause. Call 251-7600 to register.
