April 10, 2013 6:30-8:30 We're having a little party provided by Alpha Broadcasting at the Bing Lounge. Live entertainment and a SKYPE connetion with our sister charity, YapStuff.org down under. Check back, we're planning a live stream so you can be part of our history making celebration.

While I haven't shared here recently, I've been active with my efforts to raise breast cancer awareness.I encourage anyone checking out this post to look at yapstuff.org

Komen and Politics

When I make a donation to a political organization, I expect them to use the money for political purposes. When I participate in the race for the cure and ask my friends and family to donate to a world without breast cancer, I don't expect a political agenda...

Roz Hill of YapStuff.org is in the US this month

Roz and I are friends for five years, though I've not heard her voice until yesterday, when she left a voice mail on my phone. She has a charming accent from down under, proper as expected. More importantly, her message... She's leading a charge of breast cancer awareness, that knows no gender. Male, Female equal. We all have the same tissues after all. I am grateful to Roz and YapStuff.org for what they do and I'm trying to be a part of their mission. Please check out http://www.yapstuff.org or on Youtube/yapstuff.

Thank you

Yapstuff.org

Yapstuff is raising a generation of people aware breast cancer knows no gender.

Bottles for Boobs on Earth Day

In this economic environment, fundraising is a challenge - even for a great cause like like ending breast cancer. Our team, "Busking for Boobs" is always looking for new ways to raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

On Earth Day (Apr 22), members of the team went to a local Safeway grocery store to redeem deposits on bottles and cans collected over the past few months. This is what we found.
