base281 0 #1 August 29, 2002 If you're a skydiver, than you know a woman who's either directly or indirectly connected with the upcoming Women's World Record Skydives. And, if you don't know by now, this is a charity event to benefit "City Of Hope", a Comprehensive Cancer Center. In fact, we've just learned that the money Jump For the Cause is raising for City of Hope will be used to build a new Stereotactic Biopsy Unit, which will provide the most thorough diagnosis with the least invasive methods. Pretty cool, huh? Each of the participants has made a pledge to personally raise at least $2250 for her slot on the WWR. And, as the event gets closer (October 14-19, at Perris Valley Skydiving), the energy in their fund-raising is just exploding. Help your skydiving sisters by getting involved. Visit the JFTC Store where you can purchase commemorative t-shirts, pins, glassware, beer cozies and more! http://www.jumpforthecause.com/store.htm Your donations are tax deductible. -----------> And, the first pin just went on the eBay auction block today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1854967598 (More will follow, of course, as soon as I get the hang of this selling stuff!) Please visit www.jumpforthecause.com to learn more about the entire event. And, please visit http://www.cityofhope.org/ to learn all about the incredible work they're doing to treat and prevent cancer. I also want to mention one more item in particular that's for sale at the Jump For The Cause Store : It's our very personal project called "Friend In Flight": For $75, the name of a person you wish to honor is embroidered on cozy fabric which covers the chest strap of one of the Women's Record Team Members. These are hand-made by Bev Hein (of Bev Suits), so you know they're top quality, and there's a photo on the store page of what they look like. Bev's done a wonderful job filling all the orders (and the response has been tremendous). We'd love to encourage everyone to help us outfit each of the 135+ participants with one, honoring someone you love who has battled cancer. The reason I point this particular incentive out is because, as they're hand-made, there must be a cut-off date for orders of this item. We're asking that anyone interested in having a Friend In Flight cozie embroidered let us know by October 1 (which is 2 weeks before the event, and really only a month away). Thanks again for all your support and encouragement! With warm regards and gratitude, and Blue Skies! jkl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base281 0 #2 August 30, 2002 OK, I figured it out, and there is now a Dutch Auction set up for JFTC pin purchasing, which should help out those who don't have contact with any participants who are selling them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=955501611&rd=1 And, while I was setting up this Dutch Auction, the first one (single) I set up was sold! So, get 'em while they're hot! They won't last forever! Going... going... gone! jkl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
