DEMPSEY SUE; WE LOVE YOU!

Everyone knows...There is another 'CAUSE' that is very near and dear to my heart. (The Dempsey Burdick Memorial Foundation)

In my fundraising & training efforts for Breast Cancer 3-Day; I have had the chance to meet the most amazing and inspiring people.

As of late; I have been working with a sterling silver jewelry company and have begun to implement their company and products in my fundraising events. Kele & Co. is a very charitable minded company and they have been so supportive of my desire to participate in the Breast Cancer 3-Day.
(30% of my sales will be donated)

This morning I spent a good deal of time on the phone with Adrienne LeFevre; VP of Business Dev. at Kele & Co., she was extremely helpful and compassionate. We briefly discussed fundraising and then I asked her what it would take to perhaps have a specific and very special item created...

She let me share with her the story of my precious niece; Dempsey Sue. I told her that I had deeply wished to create a "Dempsey" pendant but after taking a metalsmithing class -to do so- realized I lacked the actual ability and/or talent to get the image in my mind effectively on to paper and then create a beautiful piece. (I have the "caveman-like" jewelry I created to prove this!)

I expressed my desire to have something created that would serve as a heartfelt reminder, a gift for those who had lost a child, and perhaps a way to raise funds for the memorial foundation--so we could continue to help other families in need.

Adrienne & Kelly...thank you so very much for allowing me to share my thoughts, ideas and our precious angel; Dempsey, with you. Thank you for sharing your company, ideas and beautiful jewelry with me!

THINK PINK...

Thanks to the support of some really dedicated friends, my handsome little boys and a charitable minded community...

Last Saturday's Fundraiser was a

SUCCESS!

Jordan throws his arms up in the air and takes 'victory stance' ! He is very pleased with how the event is progressing.

Mishawn, Melanie & Jenny

Three amazing friends come to my aide and offer support!

Melanie & I

Soak up some 'rays' ...

Mel tans...I freckle.

After two hours in the sun (sunscreen applied-of course)...

Melanie became a HOT 'Mocha-Mama'!

As for me...I became ONE GIANT FRECKLE! So, who's HOT NOW! ;-)

It was a lack of sleep, (Mel stayed up all night making stuff for the event--bless her! I stayed up all night baking for the event.) There was a lot of 'pink'! All of us; including Caleb & Jordan, wore the pink beads, bracelets, etc. My boys held signs that said, "Help fight Breast Cancer" and told people that their Mom was walking a lot of miles for "Breasts". Hee! Hee!So cute!

(I wonder...when they get older and actually acknowlege 'BREASTS' as you know...those 'parts' guys like about girls...well if this experience would give them major status with their buddies or if they may never live it down especially the pink beads, etc.?)

Doesn't matter...I couldn't be more proud! I really appreciate them.

They are the BEST kids!

IT WAS A GOOD DAY!
