Feel free to invite all your friends & family!

Sara Davenport of the Greater LA Tri Team states on her fundraising page,
“A model of mine and friend, Matt “Jett” Schaefer, recently lost his battle against leukemia and this seems like the best way for me to honor his memory. He was one of a kind and will be missed terribly by all who knew him. The Maximum Fitness magazine cover of him is on stands now. The other picture is just one of his modeling pictures – he truly was beautiful on the inside and out. To read more about Jett, please check out the website created in his honor www.forjett.com I am also completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line – a cure!!”

We’re all one family here, and anything we can do to help, we would be happy to help spread the word! If you have any events, let us know. We want to let everyone know all the good things Team in Training is bringing to the table! Go TEAM!

“Hey folks! Hope you can all make it out to this classy and sophisticated benefit… There will be a keg, vodka, and plenty of red cups.

Kyle, Scott, and I are all running the San Diego Marathon while raising money for cancer research, and we all agree that there’s no better way to save lives than to do it with a beer in hand. In exchange for open bar, great company, and a flip cup tournament (!), all we ask is a $10 donation, with all proceeds going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I even heard a rumor that there will be cake pops made by yours truly… But that’s only if enough people RSVP.

The party is at my house/commune in Culver City, and neighborhood parking should be ample. Bring friends and your $10 bill, and we’ll take care of the rest. Seriously, when was the last time you partied on the Westside and only spent $10? It’s quite a deal.

In addition, if you and three friends want to contend for the title of 2009 Westside Cancer-Fighting Flip Cup Champions, it’s a $20 entry for team of 4, and the winning team gets a fancy prize. Just show up with your team and an extra $5 apiece, and let the competition begin!

Hope to see you all there for an evening of benevolent charitable drinking!
Love,
Mary”

I know we don’t have many rest stops here in Santa Monica or even neighboring cities, but here’s a unique fundraiser from last year by Katie and Renae from TNT Washington. They’ve documented what they did, and their results for you.
