Heading for $7,000

As of right now, District 4-C6 has raised $5,932, just $68 short of the new goal of $6,000 after surpassing the $5,000 goal last week. We've actually surpassed the $6,000 mark because some checks are going in and won't show up on the final tally for a couple of weeks.

• Keep those donations coming in.
• We still have a couple of weeks.
• If you can't join the team, ask family and friends to support you and sponsor you. Every little bit helps.
• Send checks in right away instead of waiting so it will show on the team page.

Sunnyvale Host 100%!

Governor Bob's club came through on its pledge to have 100% of its club sign up for the team. As of this moment, out of 48 team members, 23 are men, just about half! What a great showing of support for City of Hope in its efforts to raise funds for breast cancer research, treatment and education. Great job, Lions!

$4,705 raised so far. We're still No. 2 but the Mighty Mustangs are catching up.

Getting there

Probably the easiest way to get to the event on October 13 is to carpool and caravan. Registration is between 7:30 and 9:00 a.m. where you will receive your City of Hope t-shirts and medals. E-mail me if you'd like to carpool or caravan. ljpugliese@hotmail.com.

From San Jose, take 101 to 280 and drive past AT&T Park along the Embarcadero, left on Washington, left on Drumm, left on Clay, parking at Four Embarcadero parking garage, which puts you an elevator ride from Justin Herman Plaza.

What do I do with checks?

The easiest way for someone to donate to you is to donate online. But some people don't want to go online or use a credit card and will issue you a check made out to City of Hope. What to do?

Mail the check with a sponsor form or simply put a note on the check with the

• team name, (District 4-C6 Lions)
• the location (San Francisco)
• and your name as the participant

You may download a Sponsor Form by clicking here.

We're No. 2!

Well, we finally moved ahead of Smile and we're less than $2,000 behind Gallo Sales. As of today our team has raised $3,645!

Way to go, Lions!

What's making us so successful is that as people are joining the team, they're asking their circle of friends, family and clubs to make a donation to them on their personal web page. We can do much more by encouraging your club members to simply join the team. You don't have to walk and you don't have to pledge large sums of money.

Gallo Sales is No. 1 because of the number of people who have joined their team.
