I am excited to announce a new feature to the Gilda’s Gang blog, but first, there are a few acknowledgments to be made.
Thank you to everyone who came out for the kick-off and health fair last week — all 125 of you! Our team stands at 140 members so far and we’ve already raised $15,000.
That’s a fantastic start but let’s not stop here. We’d love to get the team up to 150, 175, even more, so invite your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to join us.
Thanks go to Scott Arnold at NewsChannel 5, too, for stories about the Gang at 5 and 10 o’clock. This is going to be a great partnership.
Thanks go to Kim Amsilli for sharing her “member minute.” More from Kim in a future post.
And thanks to the Athlete’s House’s Jason Carpenter, dietetic intern Neil Harrington, the coaches from the Dayani Center, physical therapists from Vanderbilt Orthopaedic Institute, all the Gilda’s Club staff and volunteers who made the kick-off such a success. (If I’ve left anyone out, it was unintentional. Please accept my apologies. If you know of someone else who deserves a shout-out, please leave a comment).
Now to the new feature. At the top of the blog, you’ll see a tab called “share your story.” Click there and you’ll find a form you can use to submit your own guest blog post or to ask me to interview you for a post. I hope it will be a fun way to join the conversation on the blog and to jumpstart your fund-raising with a link that you can share with your donors.
I look forward to hearing and sharing your stories about what Gilda’s Club means to you.
