I have some exciting news! We are raising funds for the Spina Bifida Association in honor and memory of our sweet Caroline.
In order to do this, we are participating in the Armadillo Dash in College Station on Sunday, March 4th. There is a 5k and a half marathon that anyone can compete in (I will be WALKING the 5k!). We will be Team Caroline, proudly sporting shirts that The Ground Crew, LLC has graciously offered to provide. To sign up to participate in one of the races, please visit this website. There is a small fee to sign up, and this money will help local children's charities. We will be raising money above and beyond that.
So, there are two ways to get involved: participate and/or donate! Several people have already committed to participating and will be asking friends/family to sponsor their participation with donations. If you can't make it to the event but would still like to participate, please consider sending a donation in Caroline's honor.
All donations can be sent to me (3912 Latinne Lane, College Station, TX 77845) and checks can be made out to the Spina Bifida Association. You can find their website here.
Our goal is to raise $2500 (with hopes of blowing past this number!). This money will help raise awareness and hopefully prevent future cases of spina bifida. It will also go towards helping people currently living in the United States with this devastating disease. If we can help just one family to avoid having to go through what we went through, it will all be worth it.
Please join our cause and support Team Caroline!
We are so thankful for each of you and looking forward to seeing what we can do!
Courtney and Jason
**We are hoping to have a BIG team on race day! Please let me know if you plan to participate and what size shirt(s) you will need so that we can get them ordered ASAP!
**Please also feel free to spread the word by passing this information on to your friends/family! We can't wait to see what we can do and the impact that we can make!
Your mom signing up for a race? That's a little scary but it's done! What a great way to honor our precious Caroline! We're signed up & have a room. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI am going to try to put together a Team Caroline from Lockhart (with donations. I'm pretty sure most wouldn't be able to actually participate.)But, I want your Lockhart family to be a part of this too. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteKeith is already signed up to do the 1/2 marathon that day and I would love to do the 5K walk how can we get t-shirts to help support team Caroline? Here's my email address: erkein715@hotmail.com I'd love to hear from you :)
