Busy at work...
Sorry for the delay but the last two weeks have been very busy at work. Last Sunday, my Power of a Promise event hosted 525+ breast cancer survivors, sponsors and grantees at the Four Seasons for an afternoon of celebration, inspiration and education (do you like that phrase - I came up with it :)) It raised $32,127.75 which was a record for this event because in the past it was only deemed as an educational event not fundraiser. Obviously it needed some tweaking from yours truly! I got the entire luncheon underwritten by a sponsor along with selling two additional sponsorships and raising funds through raffle baskets, vendors and an art show (w/donated pieces that middle school students created!).
This upcoming Sunday, Mother's Day, is our Breast Cancer Awareness Day at Busch Stadium. I'm working with the Cardinal Wives to sell $5 raffle tickets for game-worn jerseys along with grab-bag autographed baseballs. The wives and Komen volunteers will walk the stadium selling these tickets and baseballs. This event typically makes around $20K but I'm hoping to double that this year since it falls on Mother's Day and awareness will be so much greater. The players will be using pink pats, PSAs will be running in the stadium and we'll be signing up fans to participate in the Race for the Cure (scheduled for June 11). We're going to have a 11 year survivor (only 28 years old) throw out the first pitch who also happens to be pregnant and due in 3 weeks! How crazy is that?!!
On to Jack (the reason for this blog) - Jack is developing quite the personality. Apparently he is told "NO" a lot at school therefore he's picked up the habit of shaking his finger and saying "Na Na Na" at you anytime you're doing something he doesn't like. I know I shouldn't laugh but it's down right hilarious. His teachers must do that at school because neither Terry nor I shake our fingers at him. His vocabulary is increasing daily. He tries to repeat what you say to him - for example my dear friend Tish's mom Teresa got him a big picture book before he was born and now it's is favorite thing to read (besides Brown Bear Brown Bear). He'll open it up and immediately start pointing out 'Nana' aka Banana, 'Ooze' aka Shoes, 'Du' aka Duck and so forth...it's adorable. He will look at this book, point at a picture he doesn't know and then look at you for the answer. He'll either repeat you or say 'Da' aka That. He's still obsessed with being outside and going on rides in his wagon. Every morning I deal with a meltdown because we have to walk past his wagon to get in the car for school. You'd think I'd just move the wagon instead of putting him through the trauma...but no I'm mean like that (and there is no where else to put the monstrosity).
I promise to post better pictures soon (we'll take some at the ballgame this weekend!) but here are two from the other day. Jason (Terry's brother) just got back from Disney World with Jeffrey and they brought Jack these Mickey ears. He loves them almost as much as he LOVES Mickey Mouse!
