Seattle Fundraisers for 3-Day Walk

Hi Everyone! It's Mike...

Since Mom was diagnosed last August, I joined a team and am currently training and fundraising for the upcoming 60-mile Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure in Seattle this September. Komen is a leader in the fight against breast cancer and has raised more than $1.5 billion for research, education and health services. The 60-mile walk is its flagship fundraiser with each participant contributing at least $2,300 in funds.

Our first team fundraiser is this week and I wanted to drop you a quick note to share a few details in case you can make it:

Today and tomorrow, Sazerac Restaurant in Hotel Monaco (4th and Spring in Seattle)will donate 20 percent of your total bill to our team. All you have to do is mention our team name, “Breast Friends” during breakfast, lunch or dinner and Sazerac will support our team’s commitment to raising more than $13,000! So far we are about one-third of the way to our goal and have much more to raise!

Also, by mentioning our name to your server, you’ll receive a coupon for 20 percent off an upcoming visit to Sazerac.

If this week doesn’t work for you, we have another event next week at Kylie’s Chicago Pizza in Fremont on Wednesday, June 23. From 5:00-10:00 pm, Kylie’s will donate 50 percent of dinner sales to “Breast Friends.”

Thank you all for the many ways you support our family and I hope if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a meal or drinks with friends or family in the next few days that your plans include Sazerac. They’ve been a fantastic partner and are very supportive of local causes.
