CANCER FUNDRAISER
My wife Jen is participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-day 60 mile walk for cancer in October, with a team consisting of friends of our friend Laurie who passed away a year at the age of 36 of inflammatory breast cancer. Each team member has to raise $2500. I am helping Jen and her friends raise their money for the cause by hosting a fundraising event on September 19th, 2009 from 4pm to 8pm at The Deck Nightclub in Essington, PA. I’m in the process of setting up a website at http://www.lauriesbreastfriends.org so tickets can be purchased and donations can be made for the cause. Please call or email me to let me know if you are interested in attending or donating to the cause. Donations can be made ahead of time by check– contact me for info. I’ll have more details once the website is ready and I will post information on the Council website www.kofc5714.org as details become available. Thank you Brother Knights in advance for your help with this worthy cause as any and all donations will be greatly appreciated even if it’s only $1.00.
