Update: The Ta-Ta Times' fundraiser


The Ta-Ta Times' fundraiser
tally as of today.
The final tally is in! Check it out!     -------->      -------->      -------->

On March 3, new donations came in that nearly doubled what we had amassed previously. That's amazing and I am so proud of what we accomplished together! Thank you for your contributions, support, and encouragement.

Many thanks to those of you that donated on the inaugural Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Day:

B. St Clair-Borrero, B. Bob Bodingus (!), B. Bull,
J. Moody, R. Vaughn, B. Roberts


The day after the big fundraising "push," I received an email from the TNBC Foundation; here's a portion of that email:
With your help, we have raised over $200,000 (donations are still coming in!) and priceless awareness for triple negative breast cancer! 
These funds will help us in our mission to be a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy groups, and a caring community with meaningful services for patients and their families.


The TNBC Foundation's fundraising page for Colorado.
Highlighted both for events in Colorado and as an "event for everyone."

ALSO . . . I found out that my event fundraising page will remain active until the end of March! So for friends and family who missed TNBC Day and would still like to make a donation, please consider doing so. Think about tax time! Need to help your numbers with a charitable donation line item? This is one way to do just that.

Although I didn't participate in a physical "event" for people to attend, fundraising seemed quite successful via this blog, the TNBC Foundation site, Facebook, and word-of-mouth. This is something I'd like to do again in the future. It just feels right to do a bit part in raising funds for organizations that offer valuable support to other people going through a journey similar to my own.

I applaud your efforts to support a foundation you might never have heard of before and individuals you'll most likely never meet! After all, where would we all be without the support of others?
