Fighting our way to the Top!!

Well, its official, "Team Jensen" is in the top 2 teams out of 25 teams with $1095.00 to date in donations!  We are 39% of our $3000 goal!  Thank you so much for all the generous donations! Its so exciting to see the donations rolling in and for our "newbie" team to be doing so well!  It just reconfirms to us what an amazing support system we have in all of you!

I've decided the best way to split the teams is to go with a "Team Jensen Family" team and a "Team Jensen Friends" team...although all our friends are like "family", we thought this would be the easiest way to split the teams.  Of course we will all be together the day of the event, the splitting of the teams is pretty much just a "clerical" move that the American Cancer Society needs us to do.  I wouldn't be surprised if we need to spin off a 3rd team!  The fundraising goal for each team will be split as well, so we will be looking to raise $1500 per team.  Should be a snap!  The two teams should be set up on the Relay for Life website in the next week.  

Thanks again to all of you!

Team Jensen Really Does Rock!!

I got an e-mail today from one of the Relay for Life directors from the American Cancer Society and they are really impressed by both our fund raising efforts and the size of our team!  Soon we will be spinning off a second team, and may even need to have a third team.  Not too shabby for a first time team!  

Thanks to you all!  I think this will be a really fun and memorable event!

How You Can Help!

There are a multitude of ways that you can "be part of our team":

1. Join "Team Jensen" and walk the day(s) of the event

2. Donate to "Team Jensens" fundraising goal of $3000

3. Recognize a loved one that has been lost to cancer through the purchase of a Luminaria.  You can do this on-line, or directly through me.  You will have the option of decorating your own Luminaria bag, or I would be happy to do it for you.  On Saturday night of the event, a candle will be placed in the luminaria and they will be placed around the track.  It is a beautiful and very touching event.

Go to the "Relay for Life" link on the right hand side of the blog to do any of these things.  

Let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks for all your support!

Go Team Jensen!

We are so excited to get "Team Jensen" up and running (no pun intended)!  So far, we are the biggest team...by leaps and bounds! We are getting ready to form our "Jr." team as a second team with all the kids.   We are in the top 3 teams for our fund raising efforts, so we are doing great!  We have reached nearly 30% of our $3000 goal, and we are still a few months away from the event!  We really appreciate your willingness to participate.  We are going to make this as fun as possible! Towards the end of May, early June, I will send out an e-mail for time slot sign ups.  Rest assured, that we aren't going to make you walk at 3am...unless you really want to!  If you know now that you have some time constraints on either day, let me know and we will make it work out.   Remember, you don't have to be officially signed up to participate in the walk (you just wont get a cool t-shirt).  Anyone can come and take time slots and participate and enjoy the day!

I will begin posting information at least once a week to keep you all updated on things like what to bring the day of the event, what to expect, timing, etc.  

Be sure to check out the side-bar to the right which lists all our fabulous friends and family that have already donated!  Donations will be accepted until July 13th...so there is plenty of time to get those in!  You can donate on-line, or send a check directly to me.  Every dollar helps!

Go Team Jensen!!!
