raising funds
Last month, for the rst time, the American Cancer Society launched a “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign to raise both awareness and funds to battle breast cancer research.
I was asked (along with 19 other Coast business leaders) and gladly accepted the challenge to raise $2,500 per man for a total of $50,000 for the campaign that runs the month of October.
In addition to raising funds, we also agreed to wear PINK every day in October. Each “Real Man” has to come up with fundraisers and I am part of two unique ones.
First, with short notice because of deadlines, I sold logos to friends and businesses with 100 percent of all sales going to breast cancer research. I thank all of you for your support and it looks like I’ve hit my goal!
Secondly, I’m partnering with two other REAL MEN WEAR PINK friends, John Carter and Cree Cantrell, to host Birdies for Boobies, a golf tournament scheduled for Saturday, October 8, at Windance Country Club. As of this writing, it looks as though we’ve sold out the tournament and hopefully will crush our fundraising goals!
Proud to say,
“Real Men Wear Pink”
