PurpleStride 2009 Update!


Hey everyone!

Just wanted to pass this on in case you don't already receive emails from the PanCan organization!

Looks like we will be doing another "picnic" this year at the house with the ever "famous" split-the-pot raffle!

We had a GREAT effort last year, raising I believe just under $2,000. Let's make it to $4,000 this year!!! Get your friends and family involved!! It is a great event for an awesome cause! Hope to see you guys in May!
