FUN-raiser a complete SUCCESS!!
April 20, 2009 by Karen
WE LOVE YOU!
Thank you thank you thank you to each and every person, angel, elf, fairy and helper for making the first annual Reach for the JOY FUN-raiser an amazing success!
We raised about $3000 and had an incredible turn out in spite of 2 feet of snow in some areas of Denver and freezing rain in others. The silent auction was a blast! The musician- Matt Nasi- was incredible! (I will post a link to his site when I get it) The clown was entertaining (ditto)!
The food was great and everyone enjoyed full bellies as well as wine and beer and other donated beverages.
I really could not have asked for a more perfect evening.
Annette Lucero put together a beautiful video presnetation that I will post this week. I also gave a brief presentation about my journey and Reach for the Joy’s goals.
Everyone had a wonderful time and I am in deep gratitude.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Laura Casselli, Annette Lucero, Janice Deverell, Magan Garcia, Joe and Renee Garcia, Kim Sproule Wright and family, Penny, Sherry Scebi, Louisa, Matt Nasi, Rob (the sound guy), Revs Nate and Suzanne Carter, Trish (of Unity Church), Cherryl and Alex Rhoades, Ray Garcia, Peter Wilms, Kerry Murray, Sandy Cowan, Tracy Battista, Selket Allen, “handy Randy”, Audrey and Michael Mayer, Bobbi Solis Bibb and family, Elisa Garcia, Rainbow Milo, Susan Egan, Krista Vernoff, Mira Rubenstein, Melissa Ripey, Jeffrey Nicholson, Warren, Femi, Unity Church of Denver and SOOOOO many other amazing, generous folks- If I forgot to mention you- you sure know who you are!
While we have come sooooo far so fast- further than most believed possible (NOT ME!!) I am still about $20k short of my financial needs for treatment. I leave for Mexico Saturday and will be in touch here and on FB and email. Please, please, keep up the efforts. We will be non- profit officially soon. If you can ask your company to “match” your donation, it sure would help!
In deepest gratitude-
REACH FOR THE JOY!!

Cup Half Full
Cup Half Full is a beautiful, important book of women and men on the journey with breast cancer, photographed by the incredible Katy Tartakoff. I was lucky enough to participate in this important project. It's an amazing book and 75% of all proceeds go to support breast cancer charities.
