Warrior Dash: April 10, 2010!

"The greatest mistake you can make in
life is to be continually fearing
you will make one."
(Goodness gracious NO! this is NOT L. Ron Hubbard, the scientology guy! Click the link...)

Here's to the fearless who came out to WARRIOR DASH and raised $$ for their schools!!

From L to R: Michelle Sanchez, Lucy and Viv Silva, Elysa Quinn, and Sol Shapiro...ROCKING the Spirit Wear booth!
This was a new adventure for 100 Mile Club, and I have to admit, I was a little nervous asking people to come out and volunteer for something that we'd never done before.  But, as the quote says, don't be afraid to make a mistake.  Worst thing that could happen was that we walk away with a generous donation and say, Wow. Never gonna do THAT again.  We went for it...and had a BLAST!!

 
100 Mile Club was able to FULLY sponsor 100 kids through the Warrior Dash Charity Partnership on Saturday.  Sponsorships were awarded based on school/volunteer participation. Thanks to everyone who came out! That was the muddiest, most fun and insane day ever...but we walked away with $1000 for our schools.  I think I left with dirt in my teeth...in a good way.  Plus, the Viking Hats!!  seriously? all worth it.

Here's how it all broke down:
  • CFIS- 12 kids sponsored (Lucy and Viv S., and Jaz)
  • CNUSD Lincoln- 4 kids sponsored (Shale S.)
  • PomonaUSD Lincoln- 8 kids sponsored (Lora and Dot L.)
  • Susan B. Anthony- 4 kids sponsored (Elizabeth S.)
  • Raney Intermediate- 4 kids sponsored (Tiff S.)
  • Garretson- 8 kids sponsored (Michelle S. and Elisa Q.)
  • Washington- 8 kids sponsored (Patricia H. and David B.)
  • Vandermolen- 28 kids sponsored (Jared, Tanya, Gary, Chris, Matt, Jill, and Coach Melissa!)
 
The rest of the sponsorships will be sent into our ABBIE Memorial Sponsorship Fund for use next year...thank you to the volunteers who came out!  It was great.  Hopefully we can staff 2 shifts next year and double our sponsorships! Who's in?

We had a blast, seriously it was a fun event, very well put together, very respectable crowd, I mean with what my expectation from the motto " sweat mud beer" and all, wasn't that appealing but I would do it for 100 mile club, to my surprise I was impressed, the crowd was awesome, the costumes were great, the behavior of the warriors respectable, and to even a bigger surprise I don't even recall any smoke in the air but the fire from the race, and I liked thand.
Overall vivianne and I would totally do it again next year!!!! Can't wait!
