Let The Race Begin!

Dear all,

Happy October...almost. Another year has past and we are again kicking off our annual Race to the Goal. For those new to the College we raise funds for those in St. Joseph county in need of mammogram screenings and/or diagnostic mammograms. This is our 19th year! From year to year the goal is to beat the previous years total monies raised. Last year we raised $7,295 (we missed our goal just by a bit) bringing our grand total for the last 18 years to $140,120! This year our goal is to raise at least $7,296.

Things to know and remember:

Every Wednesday is Power of Pink Day. You can wear jeans as long as you wear pink. If you would like to wear jeans the entire month, donate $20.00 and you are good to go!

If you are planning an event or have items to sell, please e-mail our blogger, Kelli Brown, kbrown14@nd.edu. Be sure to visit our blog regularly since items and events are constantly added: http://ndracetothegoal.blogspot.com

We will again be selling fleece jackets, to see what they look like see our blog. If you are interested in purchasing one, let me know, the cost is $40.00. We still have gift cards to sell, $10.00 for a pack of 8, artwork by Barbara Roche, see our blog. Another item to see on our blog is the long sleeve button down shirt, the cost is $35.00.
