Coffees, Anniversary of Isabella’s passing next week, Platelet Drive, Brunch & Run… New presenting race sponsor (ohh who could that be), Tito’s Vodka… wait, did I just say Tito’s Vodka.  Have to read the full update…

1. Follow us on Instagram & Facebook.  Share our posts, the only way to bring awareness to spark action is for MORE people to talk about it!
2. Become a sponsor for our 5K/10K For Kids Cancer Event.  With our new Run & Brunch addition, you don’t want to miss being involved.   Multiple sponsor levels are available.  Contact Karen to discuss opportunities.
3. Create a fundraiser for your business, get creative! Engage your employees.  Thank you to JE Dunn Construction & Brixx Wood Fired Pizza for their fundraisers in May totaling $25,000 for rare pediatric cancer!
4. Purchase Cancer Messed With gear. Bulk orders available with the ability to customize your message.  Oncology groups have purchased to wear as part of their uniforms with scrubs. Nonprofits have ordered for their team and families have bought to support as a group.  Proceeds benefit pediatric cancer research.
5. Add your name to our Volunteer database.  With our biggest event of the year coming up, 5K/10K For Kids Cancer, we will need all kinds of volunteers to bring a fun time for everyone.
