Buddy Walk–Go Team Pickle!

July 24, 2007 By Mindy

24 Jul

A note:  This post will remain at the top of the page until the Buddy Walk is over in September.  I am still posting!!  Just scroll down for the newest posts.  Thanks!

Updated prizes on September 11.

On September 15, our family will be walking in the Buddy Walk to
support the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati.  Last
year, the Cincinnati Buddy Walk was the largest in the nation.  All
proceeds from this event benefit the DSAGC, which provides support to families and individuals who have been touched by Down syndrome.

You can sponsor me or our team, walk with us, or donate a prize.  Please visit our team page, the link is below, to sponsor us or to join our team.

GO TEAM PICKLE!!!

If you sponsor us or join our team, you are eligible to win prizes of yarny goodness.  Each donation you make will enter you into the drawing.  On Monday, September 17, I will use a random number generator to pick the winners.  The prizes so far:

1) 1 450 yard skein of my handpainted sock yarn in the Pawpaw’s Plum Tree colorway.
2) 350 yards (2 skeins) of Shelridge Farm Ultra Touch Handpaint in a light pink and cream colorway.
3) 350 yards (2 skeins) of Shelridge Farm Ultra Touch Handpaint in a dark pink, grey, and cream colorway. 
4) 370 yards of Fly Dyed Monarch Sport Weight in the Fire colorway.
5)  470 yards of Tess’ Designer Yarn Super Sock & Baby in a blue-green colorway.
6)  The Tulip cardigan sweater kit.
7) A Tiboodoo sweater kit.
8) 1 skein of Yarn Pirate sock yarn in the Deep Cove colorway.

Pictures of these prizes can be seen here and here.  I will put up pictures of each new prize as they come in.

Our goal is to raise $1500 and have 10 walkers on our team. 

Wanna know why we’re walking?

    I think I just donated, if I did it right. Just a tiny amount, but I could not resist the lovely prizes or the cute baby.
