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!

First Fundraiser for Kaelyn's Kure is Big Success!!

Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

We just can't seem to say it enough!  Our first fundraiser which took place last Thursday (4/21) was a big success!  I'm blown away by the amount of people who were in attendance - we packed Jose & Tony's pretty much to the max that night!  The help, support, and generosity from everyone who took part in the event really touches our hearts and our family deeply appreciates all that was done to make the event possible.  

Whether you were able to make the event or made a donation towards it - THANK YOU!!  We had so many wonderful raffle prizes, gift cards, and baskets to give away... actually way more than we had expected!

We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did, and we're hoping to do an annual fundraiser for Kaelyn's Kure every year before the walk!  We raised $1,150 in tips alone last Thursday, and brought in an additional $1,650 from the raffles!  Really, really fantastic - just shy of almost $3,000 for Team Kaelyn's Kure and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!  If you've been following our team's total on the Great Strides page, you should see it jump to over $7,000 within the next few weeks once all the additional money we've collected recently posts to our team!

I'd like to give special recognition to all those who dedicated their time or made a donation to our raffle:

Jose & Tony's - Maggie O'Neill and her cousin for bartending the event, along with Kelly and Lam for helping with all the ticket sales throughout the night.  The night wouldn't have been possible or as successful as it was without your help!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!  (sorry if I missed anyone!)  And thank you to everyone who took a few hours of their evening to stop in and join us to make a difference in the lives of all those affected by Cystic Fibrosis!  Your donations truly do make a difference in the CF community!

 

Our First Fundraiser this Thursday 4/21/11

"Cheers" for a Cure at Jose & Tony's

With only a few days left before our very first fundraiser to support team Kaelyn's Kure and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we couldn't be more excited for this event!

"Cheers" for a Cure will kick off at 7:00pm on Thursday evening at Jose & Tony's in Mt. Lebanon!  We are looking forward to having a fantastic time with family, friends, and new friends as we come together to support CF!  The doors are open to anyone who would like to attend, so feel free to spread the word and bring along anyone you'd like!

With the help of a lot of really wonderful people in our lives, we have put together what we believe will be a great night!  Many awesome items have been donated for our Chinese Auction - including tickets to shows, gift cards, and a variety of baskets.  Raffle tickets can be purchased upon arriving at the event.  We also plan to have a 50/50 as well, and 100% of your bartenders tips collected will be donated to team Kaelyn's Kure and CFF!

This won't be the last time you'll hear me say this before Thursday is over, but thank you so much to all who have helped or donated to this event!  Wonderful things are happening right now in the CF community with the development of new drugs and treatments for those battling CF - these amazing things are all happening because of the help and support from you!  We can't thank everyone enough for their continued help in adding tomorrow's to the lives of all the children and adults fighting this battle each day!

We look forward to seeing everyone and meeting some new faces too as we raise our glasses and "Cheers" for a Cure!!  C-ya on Thursday!

Supporting Kaelyn's Kure & the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

What better way to support a wonderful cause and add tomorrow's to all of those affected by Cystic Fibrosis than by having some fun?!?  Please join us as we "Cheers" For A Cure and come together for a night of fun, family, and friends to raise awareness towards Cystic Fibrosis.

The event will take place at Jose & Tony's Mexican Restaurant/Bar - Our friend Maggie, along with her cousin, will be coordinating a variety of fundraising events for the evening including a 50/50 raffle, silent auction, etc.  100% of tips collected that night will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Great Strides Team: Kaelyn's Kure.

Kaelyn's Kure will be walking in Great Strides 2011 at South Park on Sunday, May 22, 2011.  So far our team has raised almost $3,300 for our very first walk with CFF's Great Strides.  Our goal is to raise $5,000 this year, and we are well on our way thanks to our wonderful family and friends, along with other generous supporters who have reached out to help for a great cause!  We couldn't do this without all of you and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts - you are doing a wonderful thing by adding tomorrow's for those affected daily by CF!  It's an awesome feeling to see everyone come together!  We hope to see you all there!  :-)
