Chestie Besties are on FIRE!

Thank you to everyone who has joined so far! We are so excited to have you on the Chestie Besties. I have to say that Highland Village/Flower Mound/Lantana is representin'! Where are you Denton Besties??? We are a quarter of the way there on our member goal! Let's keep it up!!!

I just wanted to brag that my kids, Jack & Emma updated their personal profiles on the Komen-Dallas site so go check out those incredibly adorable children!

Thank you, Elise, for organizing the team and for pushing us all to meet new goals and become involved!

We should have golf tournament information up soon and I heard a rumor that Jaret & Erik might be holding an acoustic show to raise funds...Bowling for Boobies! (Coined by Bestie Raychel!)

Happy trails!

cheers - m

fundraising tip: change!

there is no doubt that the economy, price of gas and groceries have affected our wallets. you have heard it before but every little bit REALLY does make a difference.

a great way to make some money is to collect change. ask your favorite stores if you can put up a jar to collect change. you will be surprised how many places are willing to allow you to put up a collection jar and how many people will throw in their change.

be sure to let people know what you are raising money for with decorations and other eye-catching items.

good luck!

information regarding matching gifts

hey cbs

some of you are already fundraising and hitting up your companies for matching funds. love it!

here's what you need to do:

1. get the form required for matching gifts from your employer.
2. fill it out
3. send it to the race for the cure office and they will verify the funds were received.

hope this helps! let us know if you have any questions.

keep up the good work.

thanks,

wow! you better hurry up!

i just received an email from the Race for the Cure that we are the first team to have 10 people!! how exciting is that? so, those of you who haven't signed up yet, get to it! let's be the first team to get to 100 members.

start thinking about fundraising NOW. $200 is a very obtainable goal but the sooner you start, the better. email us if you need any ideas or have questions about fundraising.

also, ladies, have you check your boobs this month?

have a great day and thanks to our first 10 chesties besties.
