Race For The Cure Fundraising
If you are reading this post, you probably know at least one of the women in our family that our team is celebrating this year by running the Race For The Cure. If you do know my Aunt Billie or my mom, Nancy, I think you will agree that you have truly been blessed because of your association with them. They are each wonderful and we are so thankful that they are survivors of breast cancer.
If, however, you have not been so lucky as to know these women, let me introduce them!
This is my Aunt Billie. She was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago.
This is my Mom. Her name is Nancy. This May marks a decade of survival from breast cancer for her. (By the way, the handsome guy snuggling up to her is my Dad. Aren't they just so cute?)
We are so blessed to have each of these wonderful women in our family and that they are in remission from breast cancer. Unfortunately, the fact is that there are thousands of other women who suffer from this terrible disease every year. Knowing the devastation our family faced when my Mom was diagnosed and treated with breast cancer, we want to do whatever we can to ease the suffering for others who are facing this experience, and I hope that you will want to help as well!
With that goal in mind, we have decided to form a team and run the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure in Salt Lake City on May 7, 2011. Our team name is "Fighting Back For The Rack." To learn more about the race, click HERE.
Now, let me answer the question I know you all are thinking: "How can I help?" We have a wide variety of ways you can support our team! Let me tell you about the options.
OPTION 1:
The first option is donating directly to our team. To do this, click HERE. This link will take you directly to our team page. From that page, click the button on the right that says, "Donate to this Team!" and follow the instructions.
OPTION 2:
If you don't have the spare cash to donate to our cause, don't worry we completely understand! For those who fit that situation that live nearby, we have another option! If you would rather, you can donate gently used items that you no longer need that we can sell at our fundraiser yard sale on April 30th. So use this as an opportunity to get that spring cleaning done, get those closets cleared out and let us use those items to raise money for a great cause! 100% of the proceeds from our yard sale will go to the Susan G. Komen Race For the Cure. Contact me at maloneandbrittanyadopt@gmail.com for more information. And be sure to spread the word to your friends and family so we can benefit from their donations as well! Or, if you do not live nearby, you could always host a fundraiser yard sale on behalf of our team in your area!
OPTION 3:
As a third option, if you cannot donate to our yard sale, we would love to see you come shopping at our yard sale! It will be held April 30th at 8:00 a.m. and we will have TONS of items including furniture, men's, women's, children's, and baby's clothing, homemade treats, etc... so you are sure to score a good deal! Keep watch for more information about our yard sale which I will post soon.
OPTION 4:
If you are like me, then you LOVE to go shopping. If this is something you also enjoy, then our fourth option is for you. My sister is hosting a boutique where a portion of proceeds will be donated to our Race For The Cure team. It will be held April 16th at Hanbury Manor clubhouse (251... W. 1600 N., Logan) from 10 am – 7 pm. She’s got some great stuff, so go check it out! She is also going to donate 30% of all online purchases over $10 to the team. Check her out online at http://thehandmadeheritage.blogspot.com/
OPTION 5:
If the first four options just aren't involved enough for you and you live somewhere within driving distance of Salt Lake, then our fifth option is sure to suit you! We would love it if you would join our team! To join our team, click HERE and then click the button on the right that says, "Join Fighting Back For The Rack." It's a non-competitive 5K (approximately 3 miles) so you can go at your own pace. Lots of people walk and push strollers so if I can do it, I know you can too! Of course, for those who would rather, there is also a "Sleep In For the Cure." Lol
OPTION 6:
For our sixth option if you are in personal contact with a business that would like to support our team, please let me know at the aforementioned email addressed. We would love to get involvement from small or large businesses for our team and will be willing to post their business information if they do sponsor us. If this option suits you, contact me as soon as possible so that we can be sure to advertise for them.
OPTION 7:
Of course, one of the most important things you can help us do is SPREAD THE WORD! Share this web page with all your friends and family.
OPTION 8:
Finally, if you can think of a way to support our team that I haven't mentioned yet, then feel free to get creative! Any assistance, big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Ultimately, the goal is to help those in need and every little bit counts.
Whew! I know that was a lot to throw at you, but the best thing is that if you are reading this message, then I am sure you can find one of those options that will work for you. No matter which of these options you choose, we appreciate your support! It means so much to us that in your own way you are helping us celebrate our survivors.

May Craft
Hello all! I am beginning to prepare for our craft in May! (You can all cheer now) I have several options that I have been considering. I need some feedback, so please leave the feedback in the comments on this post.
Option 1:
This will likely be a little more expensive but I'm not totally sure. Just saying that right off the top. Basically, what it is is two sheets of metal with bevelled edges that end up being wall hangings. You decorate letters that spell our the word "Family" and hang them on your wall between the two sheets of metal. Then we would make some of those marble magnets and you use the magnets to hang up pictures of your family and friends on the metal sheets.
Click here to see an example of the marble magnets that I'm talking about.
Option 2:
We could order a patriotic kits from this lady who sells the CUTEST kits. Click here to check out some of the patriotic kits she has sold in the past:
What do you all think?

March Craft: Etched Love Messages
Ok, here is my idea for our project in March: I want to do some glass etching that will make it so you can all leave sweet messages for your family or spouses that you can change according to need. I found this awesome print/idea which is what has inspired the project (just so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about) at this address; just click here! But we are going to take the beautifully inspired idea and make it our own by creating our own statements, sizes, etc.
The cost should be pretty minimal (about $5 or less?), and I'll get back to you on exacts (I'll probably just amend this post, so pay attention ladies!). The date that has been set is March 26th at 12:30, since that is when I got the least objections. If you still want to do this project and can't be there, just let me know! I'll try and post a tutorial of my own on here, though it might not happen until after the craft day itself due to time constraints.
I can't wait to see how this all turns out!
