Ooops! I mean to post this yesterday. If you’re not doing anything tonight, this should be one fun event! It’s been one helluva week of fundraisers!

From the Facebook Event page:
——–
“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”

From their E-vite:
“As most of you are aware we are training for the San Diego Marathon with Team in Training and raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In an ongoing effort to reach our fundraising goal we have come up with a creative way to get your money!

Please join us for cocktails at Bodega Wine Bar on Wednesday, May 6th. Bodega will be generously donating a percentage of their earnings from that night to our team. The more people that attend the more money we make so bring a pal (or three) and come prepared to drink up. We know its a school night and for those of you who don’t live on the westside its a trek, but let’s be honest who needs an excuse to have a drink.

We will be getting there at 6 pm but will be there until at least 11 pm so feel free to come whenever!

P.S. we will be enforcing a three drink minimum!!”

I just could not wait to post this amazing dance intro by your teammates, Maura Feerick and Erin Shulsinger from last night’s Miss TNT Pageant: 80’s style! Video took forever to upload, so it will take time before you see the other performances. Photos and recap coming soon! Great job to Jesyka, Maura, and Erin, who put together a really fun event!

If you’re a fan of comic books, writers/artists The Luna Brothers name should be familiar to you. If not, they’re huge in that world. One of our participants, Rommel Calderon is one of their good friends and it’s awesome to hear some celebrities backing the Leukemia & Lymphoma’s Team in Training.

“When our friend, Rommel, told us that he was running the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon and raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help fight blood cancers, we were more than happy to help out for such a worthy cause,” Jonathan Luna said.

His fundraising has been featured on Ain’t It Cool News, The Luna Brothers’ Blog, and even on the FRONT page of the Image Comics website! Talk about some good PR!
