Paint The City Pink - 2010 Pink Party

Hi Team,

Thanks again for all your hard work in order to have a successful Pink Party. We made $2,210 from door donations and the silent auction. Pretty good for a party planned in just under a month !!!! Everyone worked so well in keeping the overhead costs down almost to nothing so that more money can go towards the cause!!!!

I want to give a HUUUUUUGE THANK YOU to both Jenn Hern, who took the big lead in the planning this year and Kehau Ahyo who headed up the Decorating Committee and really put a lot of time and energy into the planning and execution of getting the POA Hall to fit into this years theme. Both of you went above and beyond to make sure this party came together successfully.

Other help did not go unnoticed, special thank you to Andrea and Catalina for working on getting all the yummy food COMPLETELY donated.

Thank you to Lei and Clara for the city skyline, Jen Tuck and Uyen for helping out too.

Thank you for those team members who put together basket donations for the silent auction ... The bulk of the baskets were brought by Tiara, Tammy, Kehau, and the Doering/Tuck/Tu Team!!!

Thank you to Katie, Martha, Jen Tuck, Clara and Uyen for helping pre-decorate on Friday.... And lastly, I cannot forget to thank those who came early before the party and stayed late into the night to help clean the entire POA Hall - KEHAU, JENN HERN, ANDREA, JONATHON, CATALINA, SCOTT, ALEX, DASHAWN and TIARA!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!

There were quite a few baskets that were NOT bid on. We have decided to host an online silent auction through facebook as we did last year! It was VERY SUCCESSFUL (Tammy Church can attest to that!!!! - cuuuuuute story, ask her about it on the Walk!!!) If all remaining baskets sell for the minimum starting bid, we will make an additional $1,000.00 !!! I will have that start tomorrow after I get the auction up online and close in 5-7 days.

We made enough to distribute at least $200 onto each walkers account (at least those who participated in the planning of and attended the party and who still need to reach $1,800). There were a few team members who had already raised their needed $1,800 prior to the Pink Party and yet STILL helped out with this fundraiser to make it a success for those of us who still need $$. Please be sure to thank Andrea, Catalina and Dashawn for being TRUE TEAM PLAYERS !!!!

I plan on posting donations on Monday, please send me an email if you have ANY donations in hand that you still need to post to your account so I can get an idea of how much each walker still needs to raise! Only 20 days left !!!!

Hope your training well !!! ;)
Happy Trails,
Tara
