Countdown to February 12, 2012:

The Give $5 Fundraising Challenge

In recognition of 5 years of love, hope and friendship, we are asking everyone to take part in our Give $5 Fundraising Challenge. Runners, sponsors, hoteliers, the guy that sold me a $5 coffee this morning – everyone!! Every last penny of this money will go to the Mayo Clinic and to The Donna Foundation. It’s only $5. My cup of coffee is long gone, but this donation will impact lives forever. Remember, fundraising is not required. Your race registration is also a contribution!

BUT WE CHALLENGE YOU!! Who better to challenge our fundraisers than the owners of Jacksonville’s NFL Team the Jaguars. Delores and Wayne Weaver challenge you to raise $100,000 above the funds raised by 26.2 with Donna runners last year. If we meet this challenge, the Weavers will match this $100,000 dollar for dollar.

Fundraising incentives are here! So get a jump start, and begin your fundraising today. Help us win the challenge!

“I plan to run again this year. It is an honor to be a small part of such a beautiful thing. From organizers to contributors to runners to supporters and one mighty little ladies vision…we come together and celebrate life and do our part to see that cancer doesn’t win! And to remember the heroes. Their sacrifice gave way to better treatment, new research and one day a cure. This next February once again I will run for life because I can.”
