Message from Crush Kids' Cancer team captain PecanPie!

Greetings Fellow Archies and Cancer Warriors! It’s that time again when SU2C has asked us to STAND UP and fight by raising as much funds as we can by AUGUST 29 (less than 2 weeks!). The top fundraising team will receive on-screen recognition (possibly a tribute) on the live broadcast the following week.

With our esteemed honoree abroad for the next 2 years, this will be our toughest challenge yet. Unfortunately, there are quite a few of our team members who are either battling this disease themselves or fighting the battle alongside a loved one right now because cancer doesn’t wait until it’s convenient to wage its war.

So, with or without David to guide us, it’s time to don the boxing gloves. That’s ok, though, because we Don’t Give Up and we will not be Broken! So let’s show cancer and show the world our True Colors and let the fundraising BEGIN.

Please follow the fansites and the kidschapter http://www.thekidschapter.org/ during the week for some uber-cool raffle items you could win by donating!

(only donations received today until August 29 count for the challenge; any received before or after do not count.) 

Check out David, along with team member Mary Lou Sinclair, during SU2C's broadcast in 2010:

This could happen again (minus David, of course), but only with YOUR help!
