Team Yuengling Target Charity Poll

Just another thought: Since BonBon and the attorney are both doing the Angels Race in Winston-Salem, what about that charity? 

More information can be found at: http://www.angelsfoundation.org/about-us.htm

How about The Human Fund?  Just kidding . . . I wonder if each Team Member could give to a charity of our choice, and just make individual contributions based on our personal causes?  Or is the intent to give "as a group?"

For what it's worth...I've got a cancer survivor in the family - my son. Had leukemia at 2, now hes cured...no issues.

So I'm a big advocate of cancer cure or cancer survivorship.  St. Judes, the V Foundation, and LAF would be my top 3 choices.  Since I already contribute big money to LAF, live by some of Jimmy V's words, I voted for St. Judes. 

Christian's mom passed away from lymphoma in 1997 at the age of 53 so we are in for St. Judes--$25 a piece win or lose!

Just FYI, the former basketball coach of NC State Univ. was Jim Valvano, who died of cancer.  The foundation started in his name is called the V Foundation for Cancer Research because he was known as "Jimmy V." http://www.jimmyv.org/

The voting is complete.   The target charity for July's BT Tri Challenge is:

St. Judes Children's Research Hospital

From Motivated's (Karl's) blog:  My ultimate goal for this race season is to finish IMFL in 13 hours.  That is quite a lofty goal.  I will be very happy to simply finish, but if I stretch myself, I think I could actually do it within the 13 hours.  But, I do need your help.  I am also racing for a cause and would greatly appreciate every little bit of support.  Please see my web page to learn how your contribution to St. Judes Children's Research Hospital will not only help a child, but will also help me to build meaning into this journey.

First of all, I want to sincerely thank you for your contribution to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  I have been through that hospital many, many times.  I was there as a contractor with the hospital, never as a patient or parent of one, thankfully.  It is an amazing institution serving a very challenging and worthwhile cause.  They have dramatically improved the survivorship on many cancers that were once considered a certain death.  Thank you.
