Success! We kicked off memorial day weekend with a bang. We passed out numerous flyers, sent frequent emails but it all paid off. We set up the fundraiser with Pat and Oscars and the deal was 20% of the total sales made with our flyers will be donated right back to our 3day! The manager told us our friends/family that came we brought in over $600!!!
Bright and early the very next morning we held our first garage sale. I think we totaled $475 to split between the three of us. We still have a ton of stuff that did not sell so we plan to hold one more the last saturday in june. But man do those vans show up early! 4:30 my mom called me and told me to get up and head over quick because they were lined up outside ;)
I feel so great coming so close to my goal! I only need $229 to hit my $2,300 goal and be able to say I was a part in contributing to breast cancer research. We will find the cure!

May is upon us!
We have a couple of new donors this month! Callaway Wineries in temecula has generously offered a wine tasting for two guests at their beautiful location in wine country. Grapeline wine tours offered a package retailing $109 that is good for two full day tours to 5 wineries including discounts on tastings and souvenirs. These are right up our alley for our June wine tasting fundraiser.
Also this month is our first fundraiser! Please come eat anytime throughout the day Friday may 27th from 11am-8pm at Pat and Oscars in Parkway Plaza and present the flyer and 20% will be donated right back to our 3day donations! If you need a flyer please let me know and I can email it to you. Invite your family, tell your neighbors! This is a easy and great way to support our team!

Thank you to everyone!
When we set up the donation for the photo session we had NO idea it would have been this successful! Although I knew with my husbands talents and small price of a donation to a very important cause that we would get a good start on my $2,300 goal. My mind is completely blown that I am already almost half way there with this being only my first fundraiser!!! I may be able to go far and above that first goal! :) So I just wanted to sincerely say THANK YOU to all of you that have helped me get this far already. Its such a great feeling for me to know that I will be able to walk in this years walk to help fight breast cancer.

Welcome
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. With this you will be able to follow me on a very important journey in my life.
After sitting on the sidelines and watching my friends and family participate in the 3day walk and watching how the experience not only changed their lives, but also the lives of breast cancer survivors and the family members of those passed I could not longer sit dormant. With the sprit of my Aunt, whom is a breast cancer survivor and the thought of my two year old daughters future I am committed to raising $2300+ for cancer research, treatment and education.
Check back often for updates on events that my team and I will be hosting. There is one tab "Bingo for Boobies" this is the first event I have planned. Details are still in the works but I will be updating often when things fall into place.
If you would like to make a donation of any amount I would be very grateful. Just visit the tab along the top that says "Amanda's 3day donation page" you can click and it will take you right to my official page.
