Upcoming National Kidney Foundation Subaru Touch-A-Thon


It is time once again for the National Kidney Foundation Touch-A-Thon contest to begin! It is hard for me to believe, as I think I am still working on catching up from lost sleep from the event last year!

As many of you know, in Spring 2005, I was not only an active fundraiser and participant for this event, but I also got to take home a brand new Saturn ION after my 54 hours of hard work and promotional efforts! The experience was intense, yes. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. The event was so much more than winning a car.

It helped me to learn and to better understand how much the constant battle with kidney disease affects so many lives. I was also able to reach some goals and conquer personal challenges (some which I never even knew I had!) This experience was not only meaningful, but filled with a unique buzz of energy along with many fantastic and compassionate people. I really had a lot of fun and learned much more than I could have ever imagined.

As such a popular and highly publicized event, there are many opportunities to take part and to make a difference for students, classes, or of course faculty members! From sponsorship and promotions, to recruitment and judging, to entertainment volunteers, or of course fundraising and competing to win the 2006 Subaru Impreza!  Please see the attached flyer and/or contact me  at 455-0680 or "mailto:breejw@hotmail.com" for more information on how to become involved and to make a difference in so many lives! The fundraising deadiline is March 11, 2006. The top 30 fundraisers will then be identified  to participate in the touch-a-thon.
