Bondi Bands

Like this post is soooo important! :)
I will be placing the order for bondi bands on FRIDAY, August 8th. if you wish to order please email me or post your order here. As I mentioned last night, she has several NEW styles posted on the site (www.bondiband.com). Additionally, she now carries these styles in "children's" sizes as well...in case your daughters are stealing them from you!

We currently have an order for 30 which prices the bands at $4.25 each. if we reach an order fo 50, the bands will be $4.00 each. I doubt we will reach 75 bands again...but should there be a desire for that many, they will be $3.50 at that time.

just let me know if you are ordering...and what you wish to order. thanks!

Innovis Health

Thank you to Jen Jones Dees and INNOVIS HEALTH for the $1000 donation to Women High on Running! Absolutely outstanding! Absolutely amazing! We are a lucky group of women....a fortunate group...to have such support from the businesses in our community.

Who would have thought three years ago when we started running as a very small group of friends that we would expand into a large group with a "name", running as a team for a greater cause than just ourselves? We are so lucky.

It is my understanding that no one went out knocking down doors to gain these sponsorships. They were just presented as an opportunity...and these businesses came on board. I am sure they all have their own reasons for supporting us...but let's keep them in mind as we run this upcoming relay. They are keeping our personal costs down so that we can just run....to have a lifetime experience...to focus on why we got into this in the first place, fun, camaraderie and a personal challenge.

our current sponsors are as follows
Innovis Health $1000
Extreme Pita $500 + Hospice Fund Raiser
Coldwell Banker $500 in-kind
Great Plains Cycling Club $250
Northern Improvement $150
Wells Fargo Insurance $150
Bank of the West $150
Fantasy's $150 inkind costumes and make up
Granite City $150 (gift certificates for post party)
Dick Beardsley Running Company $150 in kind
Hornbachers $100 gift certificate
Walmart $50 gift certificate

I look at that list and just think....wow.

$218.68!!!!

Leslie is a ROCK STAR!
In the last 2 weeks, Leslie has turned in nearly $500 of reciepts for Extreme Pita! Can you say "WOWSER!" holy schnikes! Nice work Leslie. Our grand total for Hospice to date is $218.68, which is really, really cool! I through it out there to see if we coudl get to $100 in EP reciepts and we totally did it ($127)! But don't stop collecting them~!!!!!!!

In talking with Hospice, I learned that it costs just about $300 for one child to go through thier Youth Journey Program. I am not asking you to dig into your own pockets...not by any stretch. What I am asking...is can we get to $300? And I really think we can! Keep eating at EP....or if you are doing a staff lunch, suggest EP as the group location. We have until the 17th......that's 12 more days. WE CAN DO IT!

again, here's where our money has come from:
127.18 EP
25.00 donation
20.00 state bank
46.50 garage sale

nice work ladies! We should all be so excited!

Hospice Update

Yay!
our Extreme Pita reciepts are now at 87.67! (876.70 total) NICE Job Ladies! remember to keep collecting reciepts until August 17th. And if you have any, feel free to bring them to me this week to any of our runs!

also, the garage sale was a success. though the effort was small (and last minute) Women High on Running sold 46.50 worth of "Stuff." so I will bring that to the bank today ;)

with that, I think we are currently at $179.17 that we have raised for Hospice :) That's good stuff!
