You're Invited....

To join the Sweet Caroline team for the ALS Association's
Walk to Defeat ALS!

When: October 23, 2011
Location: Santa Monica City Hall
Walk Check-in: 9:00 AM
Walk Starts: 11:00 AM
Distance: 2 miles


Our teams goal is to raise $1750.00! You can see our teams site here and track our progress.

There are three ways you can join and help our team.
  • Join our team and help us fund raise to meet our goal!
  • Join our team and come walk with us in memory of my Mom (I think you still have to sign up through the join now button on our page just put your goal as $0 and it will still allow you to join!
  • Donate to our team.
I would love to have a huge group of people walking in honor of my Mom. I even want to design and have special t-shirts made for our team that we can all wear in her memory.

Please pass the word along and help us meet our goal!

Thanks!
Lisa

Updated: It has just come to my attention that the walk is scheduled for a Sunday. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints keeping the Sabbath day holy is extremely important to us. We do not want to put any of our Latter Day Saint friends in a position that might make them feel uncomfortable. For that reason we have decided that we will host a walk in Brea on Saturday, October 22nd. Route details will be coming soon but we are hoping to have the walk start or end at her graveside and plan on having a lunch afterward. This way we give everyone a choice as to whether they want to walk on Saturday or Sunday in Sweet Caroline's memory - or both! We believe that the ALS foundation in a worthy cause and will continue to try to reach our fundraising goal (already 28% of the way there - WAHOO!). Thank you for your support and understanding!

  1. Thank you, Rober family, especially Lisa, for posting this. I think it is a great idea to remember you mom this way. Caroline fought the disease with all her might, and now we all can fight with her by donating. Karen Mascitelli
