Hello all!
Plans are moving forward quickly!!! Now Nate (the other person helping on the fundraiser with Angie) has decided we need to get a big name in the bowling alley to play for us (besides our beloved Gypsy Revival) and he wants to just close down the alley and have it totally CCer’s!!! You would not believe how excited and amazed I am at how this is all coming together. We already have promises of basket donations, a couple more donations on the first giving page (http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/susancrago/somethingforsue) and promised packages from the Indiana Ice and our local radio DJ’s Bob and Tom!!!
Thanks to Gayle for asking for forms…they are already in the mail! If anyone else would like some, just let me know!!!
If anyone wants to come join me, Grover, Cindy (candrews) and all of my good friends for a great cause (and a great time!!!), just let me know!!!
Hugs to all,
SueSue…..who knows? You may have started something for others to follow. Two thumbs up for the Indiana division of the Cholangiocarcinoma Bowling Team.
Hugs right back at you,
MarionI wish we could get a full contingent of CC.orgers, but I know that we all live so far apart. Hopefully we will have a big turnout and will be able to donate a lot of money to CC so they know we believe in them and their purpose. I appreciate all the support we have…from the CC board, Grover, Cindy and all of my friends. We will keep you all up to date. You are all a part of this!!!
Hugs,
SueHi Sue and everyone…I just know that the fundraiser will be a spectacular event – how can it not be? Great people – over the top enthusiasm – it is infectious and exhilarating. If there is anything I can do to help out with please, let me know. I don’t want to miss out on all the fun.
Hugs to you all,
MarionPam, You are helping by being here supporting us, and giving us ideas. We love having a foreign correspondent. Mb we can take our bowling on the road, after Sue’s successful event and come your way.
Much thanks for the ideas and the thoughts,
Prayers and positive energy sent your way and to Lauren.

You could have a 50/50 raffle. An arm’s length of tickets for $5.00. Half the total money goes to the winning ticket holder and half to the charity. I would hang flyers everywhere they will let you. Grocery stores, beauty shops, hospital,restaurants near your homes. Get someone who is real outgoing to go to businesses and ask for donations or to make gift baskets for a silent auction. I would definitely pass out literature about CC. Most people have never heard of it. Oh, I wish I could help!
Love,-Pam
Pam, I’m sure we can figure out a way to share pictures, etc. with all of you guys out there! You can be our remote participants!
Cindy
I am so glad you guys all found something so exciting to get involved in. I know you will have an awesome event. I wish we were closer so we could participate, but I think it is so great that you are raising money and awareness for CC. Bless you all.
Love, -Pam
I’m going to start practicing on the Wii @ home! I plan on whooping some booty @ this Party!
PS – I’ve already started passing the word around work – hopefully I’ll get some donors for Grover (dad) and his “CC Harem” LOL
You are all just amazing!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Where I was excited this morning to be working on this fundraiser…you have all now raised it to another level!!! I cannot wait to meet Cindy and Grover and both of their families in April (or before!!!)! I really appreciate all offers of help and all the wonderful ideas for the flier placement! I will send out PDF files of the flier (or I can send actual copies if you would rather have them) by the end of the week. Angie (one of my great friends who is helping with the fundraiser) is out of the office today but will be back in tomorrow. She has the most current flier form.
If anyone else needs the flier in either form, please just let me know. Maybe we can double our amount and donate $6000 instead!!!
Ideas for flier placement, prizes, auctions, raffles…anything is greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you all sooooo much!!!
Hugs to you ALL,
SueAnd something else for you Facebook users. As you are reading the fundraiser site, “click” on the “like” button and it will post the link to your Facebook page. I did, and started sharing it with my family on their Facebook pages. Yes Grover, flyers at the Dr. Office and in the infusion center too! Are you competitive Grover? LOL! I need to start getting shape for bowling!
Cindy
Sue, your friend did a wonderful, amazing job on the fundraising site!
Be sure and give her my best!
Cindy
@ Suzanne, do you live in Avon? If so, we are practically neighbors! I live in Monrovia, which is off of I-70, 27 Miles SW of Indy. Or, 7 miles West of Plainfield and/or Mooresville. CC Cindy, I like that! @ Sue, I was thinking about maybe putting some of the fundraiser flyers out at the Simon Cancer center. Tha might spark some interest too. My husband is getting excited too. He is sure he can get his dad to bowl and maybe his mom!
And the Woodlawn Bowl @ 96th & Keystone, that is our old stomping ground. My husband and I grew up on the Northside, and I graduated from Carmel H.S. , let’s just say back in the 1970’s.
As for the press, I might be able to get a small article in the local newspaper which circulates through this area and SW Indy. There needs to be more CC awareness.
Oh,this is so exciting!
Hugs and prayers to everyone!Cindy
