Tick Tock, Tick Tock


Wow, where has the time gone? So much has happened and I'm just starting to get my feet under me, I'll bring you up to speed slowly, but will definitely bring you up to speed. I have to apologise for falling off the grid a bit.

Anyhow, to follow up with Pink in the Rink, which was a great success for the BC Cancer Foundation; a society that I truly love working with. My role for that event was the 50/50 coordinator. I had a great team working with me who were super revved up, energetic, and ready to sell; and sell they did! We provided the winner with $1400; which means we sold $2800 just in 50/50 tickets!!
It was amazing!!

Everywhere you looked was a sea of pink, boys, girls, men, women, young and old were wearing the Pink proudly knowing that because of them; and their contributions, they were saving lives.
The one thing about fundraisers, is they don't seem to work without support from the community and I was over run with admiration for our community as it was a sold out rink; the support was there in pink...I mean spades!
I ended up staying for 6 hours to help with the clean up and counting of cash, but I just can't ever seem to tear myself away. Knowing that the dedication of all those involved makes such a difference for people gives me the energy to keep going.

Pink in the Rink



Pink in the Rink is back at the Save-On Foods Memorial Arena here in Victoria; this is a fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation and a chance to wear pink to a hockey game without being made fun of.
I ran into my good friend who works with the BC Cancer Foundation and she asked if I would be willing to help out the foundation again by being there; how can you say no to that?
I’m not certain as to exactly what I’ll be doing, but I will be there and I will be wearing as much pink as humanly possible; come show your support on Saturday, January 28th at 7:05pm. $3.00 from every $15.00 ticket is being donated the BC Cancer Foundation.
There will lots of prizes for you to have a chance to win; the most notable is the airfare and accommodation for 4 to Disneyland, courtesy of Hillside centre.

Check back to find out how it went; or better yet, come and see for yourself!
