Breast Cancer Fundraiser - Results Announced
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 10:38 pm
I was granted permission to do this fundraiser for a good cause on the presumption that all donations will go directly to the non-profit organization - and they will.
I will be walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Los Angeles on September 16th and 17th. I am looking for kind sponsors - that's folks who donate some funds to the charity to demonstrate support for my walking twice the distance of a marathon in two days.

Coincidentally, I have some nice whistles hanging around. And there are some nice folks who are willing to give me a whistle or flute "for the cause."

Glenn Schultz Water Weasel - Tunable Key of High C
Mack Hoover Narrow Bore Brass - Tunable Key of High D
Butch Hall "Little Bird" Cedar Native American Flute in B Minor

-------------
If you are a nice folk, and you want to contribute to a good cause, go to my sponsorship page on the Avon Foundation website. The page is titled "White as the Pure Driven Snow" in honor of my legs.
Click on the "Support Me" button or "Make a gift!" link and make a gift to the Avon Foundation. You will be able to send me a note on the contribution page - make sure you tell me you are from C&F and what your C&F user-name is in the note. Please understand that the Avon Foundation has nothing to do with this raffle.
Go Here: http://walk.avonfoundation.org/site/TR? ... px=2443488
Now, for every whole multiple of US$10 you contribute to the Avon Foundation to support me, I will grant people who identify themselves as C&F folks one opportunity token. US$10 = 1 token, US$20 = 2 tokens - and so forth. If you contribute more than one time, just make sure to get your info in the note to me and your total number of tokens will be based on the total amount you give to the Avon Foundation to support me.
On the 1st day of August 2006 I will pull tokens from a hat (or something equally random). I will draw one token for each available prize. If the first token is yours, you will get the first choice of the items in the prize pool at that time. If the second token is yours, you will get the second choice. It will go that way until all tokens and prizes are gone.
Probably the least recognized of the items in the prize pool right now is the Butch Hall "Little Bird" Cedar Native American Flute in B Minor. So here's a pic and sound clip:

I will probably add other quick pics and clips for the other items as the month progresses.
I hope you have the means to participate and contribute to such a great cause.
