You may be wondering why I chose to title this blog post "Sweet 16". It could be because I bought and ate one of Tina Palmieri's delicious Oreo Pops that she made and sent to the gym to sell as a fundraiser for our Pink/Unite for HER donation. It's not. It could be because by the time we finish September, there will have been 16 fundraisers ranging from lemonade stands to a bus trip for our Pink/Unite for HER donation. It's not. It could be because we are already at 16% of our goal and it's only September. That's it! We have raised $3,251.12 so far and that is not counting what was raised in the PLUMraiser and whatever we raise at tomorrow's Dining for a Cause event at The Ninety-Nine Restaurant in Glastonbury. I'm guessing that we will be very close to $4,000 when those events are totaled and added in. Thank you to everyone who is helping us on this journey with Pink and Unite for HER. We appreciate everything from donations to volunteering at events. It is great to see so many additional families from the gym joining the fundraising this year.

I can't believe that everyone is doing so well already! This is crazy! I'm so happy that we are already almost at $4,000! I can't believe how muchg money we have already raised for Breast Cancer patients! I'm so happy that we will be helping save lives and helping people! I'm sure that it will make people happy that we are helping them! I know that if people have Breast Cancer that it is possible to overcome it, all you need is courage, peace, and love, my Grandma had Breast Cancer and she is still a very happy person with our family helping her she could overcome Breast Cancer :-)! You need confidence to Stick it to Breast Cancer! Speaking of Stick it to Breast Cancer we are going to start selling the Stick it to Breast Cancer shirts in December. The different shirts are V-Neck, Racerback, and traditional.
