Fundraising Events

As you may well be aware, I am raising money for OAR for my upcoming first marathon. This October I will be participating in the Chicago Marathon as part of the Run For Autism team. My goal for this is to raise a minimum of $500 dollars for autism research. I can't do this alone, and so have to count on the charity of others to help me meet and/or exceed this goal. Each month I will be setting aside a weekend day to collect aluminum cans to "cash in" and put into my OAR giving fund. The next event planned is coming up in the next month. July will be a busy month with three planned events already on the books. First will be the "Tire Flippin' Butt Kickin' Autism Awareness Challenge" which will include some good friends and some soon to be good friends. More details on this within the next two weeks. Tentative date for this will be either July 10th or the 17th. Following the tire flip will be a bake sale. Our wonderful friends at Harmony Hill Winery have agreed to allow Runner With a Reason and Momma's Wooden Spoon to sell some wonderful baked goods for the cause! This fund raising event will take place on Friday, July 23rd at Harmony Hill starting at 5:00 pm. The proceeds from the evenings sales will go directly into the OAR giving fund. Still working on some pricing and setup issues, but if you'd like to make an advance purchase, please let me know or become a fan of Momma's Wooden Spoon and let Momma know! Lastly, there will be another aluminum can drive in July, and the date will be posted at least a week in advance. If you have friends and family that would like to contribute, but don't have the funds to do so, this is a great way to help. Please pass along this information to as many people as you can, and a BIG THANKS in advance!
