Monday June 25, 2007 ACS Livermore Relay for Life 2007....A HUGE SUCCESS!!
Well, starting from 7:30 am PT on Saturday, 23-Jun-07 all the way to 9:30 am PT or so on Sunday, 24-Jun-07, I spent my weekend at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in my hometown of Livermore, California.
When the event started at 9 am PT on Saturday, we were at about $206K. Our goal from the American Cancer Society was $235K this year. By the time the Luminaria ceremony started that evening around 9 pm PT, we we were a little over $234K. By the time we had our closing ceremony on Sunday morning, we had raised over $250K. Can't wait to see what our final total is after we stop accepting donations for this year's Relay on 31-Aug-07.
I was the third highest fundraiser for Livermore's Relay with $2800. And this amount doesn't include the almost $700 in matching funds that was donated to the cause by Sun Folks (thanks Sun Folks for your support, you know who you are!!). My hubby who is a Certified Massage Therapist had a massage tent up during the event raised almost $1000 the day of the event. All in all a very successful event here in Livermore....
P.S. We found out that SHARKS, of the hockey variety, PURR!!! My hubby gave SJ Sharky, the mascot for the San Jose Sharks Professional Hockey Team a massage and he purred! Too cute!
