2011 Team


Introducing the 2011 911 Angels!!

With only weeks away from the SF Avon Walk, this amazing team of Angels have spent many hours fundraising in the fight against breast cancer. So far this year we have raised $36,000 and have landed 3rd highest ranking SF team for most money raised. Still training in preparation for our 2 day, 39 mile walk, fundraising continues ... Each of our team members made a commitment to raise at least $1,800.00 and many of us have bypassed that goal by far. However, there are still a few walkers still needing donations. if you have not yet donated to the cause, please consider helping one of our team mates out. We still have more to raise!!!!

The 1st 21 pictured are actual walking Angels. The last row of Angels are our VERY IMPORTANT crew and support team that spend the weekend cheering us on every step of the way. They are what keeps us motivated during our very long journey and we simply could not do it without them!!!!!

Keep on Stepping Angels and get ready TO ROCK THE WALK !!!!
