Walking In Spirit and Hope - You Must Be The Change That You Seek In The World~
It's A New Year for Team W.I.S.H Arizona!
Team W.I.S.H Arizona has just received fantastic news from our beloved I.R.S. that we have been accepted as a 'non-exempt charity group' and have been awarded the classification of a 501c3! To some it may not mean anything, but to those of us who fund raise, it's extraordinary! Not only will we be able to raise funds for the AZ 3 Day walk benefiting Susan G. Komen but we can expand our fundraising for the purpose of helping other cancer victims and families who might need support and a little financial help!Linda Kacmarsky, Team W.I.S.H. captain and co-founder adds her excitement, "We have gone way beyond our journey of fundraising for just one cause, because now we can help so many more in our local area. Supporting those who have just received devastating news is part of our focus and now we can move forward to help those who might need some assistance."
One thing we learned about fundraising in 2008...even though the economy has come to a screeching halt, people from all walks of life are still donating. Last year the AZ 3 Day raised over $5.2 million dollars...because breast cancer has NOT stopped. We must keep going...we must eradicate this disease!
Our 'neon' green shirts has become our logo and now when you see the team training with the pace wicked-up, we're more determined then ever! With everyone's commitment, courage and spirit... we can make a difference. Here's to a rockin' year fundraising!
