Fundraising for Katie's Warriors!

My good friend Sandy sells South Hill Designs and Thirty-One bags.  We were so honored that she offered to do a party for us for Katie's Warriors and donated her commission to our JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) Walk to Cure Diabetes (this coming October!)  Please click on the link to find our page- we are Katie's Warriors and we are walking at the Chicago Lakefront on 10/6/13.

Anyway there is still time to order these awesome necklaces and tote bags.  I'll include the links here.  100% of the commission from this party will be donated. 

Shop South Hill Designs at www.southhilldesigns.com/sandyburns. Please email sandyburns3@yahoo.com that you ordered under this fundraiser.

AnnaGrace's Locket

These lockets are so cute and I love that we can personalize them for what we love.  Mine has a blessed coin and then birthstones for my gang plus a camera (for my love of photography) and an owl (for my biology interests).  I am waiting on my blue ribbon (for diabetes awareness) and my rainbow (private joke between my husband and myself  :)  AnnaGrace chose a horse, paint palette and guitar with Dream.  Katie chose a starbucks coffee cup (Barista - holla!) and a blue diabetes awareness ribbon with another charm.  

The mini locket holds only 1-2 charms..the one I posted here is the medium one.  The locket includes a chain.

The other product- Thirty One- are so nice.  The website and catalog does not do the products justice.  I love the lunch bag because it's thermal and keeps my foods cold for long days at class.  And the patterns are just too cute.  My other favorite bag is their every-wear wallet..it's big and has a strap you can pull out when you want to just take your cards and go and not have your whole purse!

We are closing out the party in a few days (by Saturday) so please order soon if you are planning on it.  We've already raised $191 for Katie's Warriors doing this party and we thank our family and friends for supporting us in this journey!  Thanks!

JDRF Walk for the Cure

Katie is not one to just sit around and accept anything.  She decided she wanted to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in order to help find a cure.

In a nutshell...the JDRF asks that your teammates all raise $100 each (it's a suggestion).  We are getting a big group together to walk- anyone is welcome to join us and if you can't walk- you can walk virtually.  Here is a link to Katie's Team page- Katie's Warriors!

Anyone who signs up to walk with our team - we are asking to please try and raise funds...there are forms you can print out to get donations in person (from workmates, to friends, etc) or you can direct people to our page to donate online!

Katie's goal is to raise $5,000.  If we get anyone reading this blog other than family and friends (or myself) I MAY do a giveaway if you post how much you've donated.  Just a comment with your name and the amount you donated would be fine.  We'd love the support to show Katie we care!
