As a member of Team in Training, I am required to raise a minimum of $3,800. From the start, I was anxious about raising so much money, as I have never done any such fundraising before. My first donation came from Carrie, who quickly tired of hearing me worrying aloud about how no one was donating after I'd had my fundraising website up and running for an hour. Soon enough, I started to receive email notifications of donations from my family and friends. Each time I get an email telling me that someone donated, I get so excited. It means so much to me to have the people I care about support the cause to which I have become so dedicated.
I recently had my first fundraising event - a happy hour at 8 Mile Creek, a bar in Nolita. On an evening of perfect weather, my friends assembled on an outdoor patio for drinks and a raffle. Everyone had fun, some lucky winners left with prizes, and I was several hundred dollars closer to my goal. Below are some photos from the event. Thanks again to everyone for coming out and supporting me. Can't wait to see you next time - at a karaoke event organized by my dear friend Steph Opitz, on June 5th.
