YEAH YEAH YEAH FOR US!!!!Our team is growing!! we have fundraisers going and donations from outside the Forum and we are up to $1145.00 which is incredible for the short amount of time our team have been in around. We will also have a Forumite there who has said she will go and walk some for us at the event !!!
Tradewinds is writing an article about the team so we may get more members/ donations!!
I am actually going to find a place here at home to walk the entire 18 hours! I have done several Relays before and it's important to me to walk as I dedicate my Relays to specific people. (my first Relay was dedicated to MR B from the Forum.) This year it is for my brother in law who is suffering with lung cancer and I need to walk for him.
I got the car stickers yesterday and will get them in the mail to those who have PM's me their addresses who have donated.
So glad so many people want to partake!!! you guys are great!!!

just an update - with 4 current team members- we have raised nearly $1800 and there is still over 30 days left. We would love a few more team members but want to extend so much thanks to friends, family, and especially our VIOL family for contributing to such an amazing cause to our island paradise!!! this team is amazing!!!

to keep this ball rolling - donate at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=39706

also if anyone likes postcards- One of my fundraising efforts if I will send a hand written postcard from STJ to anyone who donates more than $3.00 during our next trip! ( cheesy but it's working.) Also if you are a Disney fan- I have Disney collectible ornaments benefiting Relay!

GO TEAM WANNABE'S!!!!

hi everyone
we are over $1900 for our donations for the Relay team. i would love to be over $2000 by this weekend!! we only have 23 days left before the big event and I know we can go over $2500 total! I a, in constant contact with the event coordinator's and they cannot get over our team's generosity - and what better people to give to then those who are either suffering from the effects of cancer or those who have survived the fight and are now helping others with their battle on our precious island!!
it's still not too late to be a team member - if we raise $100 each we would blow them away with our island love!!

EagleRayLover,
Did I give you my address? I don't have a sticker, however I just donated on Saturday, so I didn't expect to. Thanks for organizing this!

We are over the $2000 mark thanks to family and friends. If you go online - it does not reflect the accurate total yet as we have some checks that need to be included but WOOHOO to everyone who has and continues to contribute to his amazing cause. Just for clarification - all monies raised stays on the USVI and helps the locals. They get free mammograms, help with transportation back to the states for care, free prostate check ups among other care!!
Please considering donating - we still have over 20 days!!
