For those of you in the Newark area, I’d like to remind you about two great fundraising events for The B+ Foundation. Tomorrow (Thurs) evening, 1614 Fitness and Grotto Pizza on Main Street in Newark will be hosting a fundraiser whereby 20% of all sales go to our Foundation. Please note, though, that you must present the certificate (see link below) for us to get credit.

And then on Saturday, 1614 Fitness will be hosting the “2nd Annual 1614 Fitness Family 5k and Pump & Run” at 318 South College Avenue in Newark. Festivities start at 10am and will wrap up by 2pm. There will be music, antique cars, face painting, a bone marrow drive in honor of B+ Hero, Noxah Palomo, and numerous other activities. The weather forecast is great; it should be a fantastic day. Please come out to 1614 Fitness in Newark on Saturday. The actual 5k starts at 10:30 for the walk; 11:30am for the run.

If you’re hungry and in Wilmington, stop by Iron Hill Brewery on the Riverfront and make sure you order the “Double Chocolate Hill” dessert. A portion of the proceeds from this dessert will go to The B+ Foundation. Remember, the calories don’t count if you’re eating it for charity!

Sorry to pester you about our “4th Annual B+ Fighting Childhood Cancer 5k Run/Walk”, but this has historically been our biggest fundraiser. Please visit http://www.elleevance.com/BPos2010/EventLandingPage.aspx and create a team, join a team, or just sponsor a team from near or far. It’s amazing how much we can accomplish when a lot of people do just a little. Join us and then spread the word via email to all your friends…no donation is too small. It’s easy to donate online with our secure site.
This being what would be Andrew’s senior year in high school, I’d really like to see a lot of teams of kids — whether they are teams organized by schools, sports teams, swim clubs, neighborhoods, scout troops, etc.
Please be the first to set up a team for your grade school or high school. We need EVERY swim club represented.
It’s going to be a blast. We’re going to have FREE pizza, FREE Chik Fil-A sandwiches, FREE Johnny’s Hot Dogs, FREE produce from Marini Produce, FREE pretzels and drinks. There will be music and we will have the latest in chip technology for our run/walk. It’s going to be great.

Thank you for your continued support of ‘our kids’!
