save the date!

It's that time of year again when Kaelyn's Kure is in full swing getting ready for the Great Strides walk!  The walk this year will be on Sunday, May 20th at South Park.  Our team will be ready to take on the walk again as we walk for Kaelyn and Cystic Fibrosis.  Last year's walk, which was our very first Great Strides, was beyond successful!  Our team consisted of 85 walkers and we managed to raised almost $11,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!  Those funds are what brings the science and research to the table for CF and adds years to many lives, which is so, so very important!  If you'd like to join our team for the walk, or donate in honor of Kaelyn, visit our Great Strides page:  http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/JulieWeber

A big part of last year's success for our team was our fundraiser in April, Cheers For A Cure, which we will be hosting again next month!  It will take place on Saturday, April 28th and we will be holding the event at Milestone in Brentwood on Brownsville Road. 

We plan to once again have a Chinese auction and 50/50 raffle.  If anyone is interested in volunteering to provide any baskets, prizes, or gift cards for the auction, please let me know!  You can email us at kaelynskure@gmail.com or get in touch on Facebook.  Right now we are looking for any and all types of baskets - last year we had a garden basket, 2 wine baskets, a picnic basket, cooking basket, outdoors basket, and mixed drink basket.... along with several different prizes and gift cards.  We truly love the support of our friends, family and volunteers who help us to make this event such a success!

As the event gets closer and all our ideas start coming together, I will post more details.  :)
For now, please help us spread the word and don't forget to SaVe ThE DaTe!

Cheers For A Cure
