Donations

Ah the dreaded donations page wherein one asks for the money! There are a lot of theories on asking for money and the best way to go about it. My theory is to just ask for the money and let it go at that.

With that in mind, I will not threaten to do away with these bunnies if you do not donate to this worth cause. I won't tell you this is their last trip to the carrot patch and they will be pushing up daisies if you don't cough up your pennies.

I think we both know by now that Pallotta TeamWorks, who organizes and runs this event, would have me in a special holding facility for threatening people and small animals in order to meet my pledge amount.

So let me just list off the basic facts of donating to this worthy cause:

	The mission of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade is to fund access to care and find a cure for breast cancer. Your donation will support this mission.
	Your donation is tax deductible.
	The goal of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade is to benefit all women, with a special emphasis on reaching the medically underserved, including low-income, elderly, and minority women, and those with inadequate health insurance. Reversing historical disparities in breast cancer care is a priority.
	Did I mention that your donation is tax deductible?
	Donate what you would normally spend on lattes each week.
	Donate the spare change on your bureau.
	Imagine yourself with breast cancer - how much would you want people to donate?

Again, the bunnies are safe, they will not be taking the escalator upstairs if you don't get involved.

But I hope you will get involved and donate by one of these means:

1. Click here Be The People and download the donation form. Choose the event (Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Seattle - 2002) Under  "Search for Crew/Walker" put in Nancy Edwards, and my number 2707.

2. Click here for my Avon 3-Day Page and click on Donate. This is a secure site and your credit card number and information stays put.

In the event you do donate, send me an e-mail with your name and the amount and I will send you a personal, snail mail thank you (I will need your address) and add you to my list of donors (only if you so wish.) I am most willing to be unabashedly effusive in my thanks and have a high command of complimentary adjectives which I will utilize on your behalf.

If you don't donate, that is all right. Really. Maybe down the line you will. Perhaps someone you know will receive the diagnosis of breast cancer and that will spur you on. Or maybe you are throwing your money at Parkinson's research or sending it to the American Lung Association - if so, I applaud you. I merely want to thank you for considering a donation - that is all I ask.
