as we raise money for
Team Fox
to help find a cure for Parkinson's Disease
What better way is there to spend a fall Saturday than scrapping with friends and family - preserving those memories - while helping to raise money for a great cause?!?
That's why we would like to invite you to come and spend the day cropping with us as we raise money for TEAM FOX / Team Spangler for the fight against Parkinson's disease!
Saturday, October 20, 2012
9am - 7pm
Southeast Activity building, 50th Street & MacCorkle Ave. Kanawha City
Cost is only $30.00 with proceeds going to Team Spangler / TEAM FOX
We will have cropping, food, fun, door prizes, silent auction and raffles all to help raise money for this great cause, but we need your help and support to make it a success!
Procedes from this fundraising crop will go to Team Spangler - in honor of my cousin, Terry Spangler - as he is battling Parkinson's disease. His daughter Missy (a fellow scrapper as well!) has been accepted to run the NYC Marathon in November as a member of Team Fox, (Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's Foundation), honoring her dad. These fundraising efforts go directly to Team Fox.
To register, or if you have any questions, please contact Carrie at: cropcarrie@gmail.com or call directly at (304) 437-3850
A little about Team Spangler and my wonderful cousin Missy:
"I am a daughter of 3 girls...yes "THE MIDDLE" one :) We are all working on this together to honor our father who was diagnosed with Parkinson's and has had a very progressive battle with it since the age of 39. We also do this to honor our mother who has been a supportive caregiver during this difficult time. We are from a small community in Ritchie County, WV where my dad has been a devoted dad, teacher, and coach to hundreds of students and athletes. We seek to share his story and give back to Michael J Fox's Parkinson's Foundation as part of Team Fox...because you can accomplish more in life as a Team and we've all come together to be a member of my dad's team."
You can read more about Missy and her mission on her blog at:
What is TEAM FOX?
"Team Fox is The Michael J. Fox Foundation's (MJFF) grassroots community fundraising program. Its members include thousands of people worldwide who generate funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease research. All funds raised through Team Fox go directly to MJFF to advance its mission to accelerate the delivery of life-changing treatments, and ultimately a cure, to people with Parkinson's disease.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is honored by your support. Since 2001, the Foundation has maintained an uncompromising pace, strategically targeting our resources to achieve maximum impact on patients' lives, funding work on over 100 therapeutic targets to the tune of more than $289 million to date. MJFF also understands that patients are the key to a cure and is actively engaged with the PD community. To help connect patients and their loved ones with the clinical trials that urgently need their participation, the Foundation created a Web tool, Fox Trial Finder(www.foxtrialfinder.org). Whether you have PD or not, you can play a critical role in moving research forward create your profile now!
Now through December 31, 2012, all Team Fox members new to the program or those who raised more than last year will have their funds matched dollar-for-dollar, thanks to the $50-million Brin Wojcicki Challenge (www.michaeljfox.org/challenge).
Your timing to step up for Team Fox couldn't be better. Be a part of the answer and help us speed a cure for Parkinson's today!"
