Subject: Beat The Bridge 2008
Hello everyone,
May 18, 2008 will be the 26th anniversary for the Nordstrom Beat the Bridge
to Beat Diabetes 8K fundraising run to raise money for the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation
For those not aware, the Nordstrom Beat the Bridge to Beat Diabetes annual
fundraising event consists of an 8K approximately 5 mile race starting
from the University of Washingtons Husky Stadium, and taking a route that
leads over the University drawbridge - which is raised 20 minutes after the
last wave of runners - thus the title Beat the Bridge The event also
consists of a one-mile fun run, a family four-mile walk, and diaper derby
for children and/or underdeveloped adults I will run in the 8k if you were
wondering The event annually attracts around 8,000 - 10,000 participants
and last year raised over 1,000,000 which goes to help find a cure for
diabetes
Every year my company, company name, fields a corporate team to
participate in the event In 2006, with the help of many of you, I was
able to raise over dollar
amount in pledges as an individual, with
company name as a team raising over dollar amount Company name had
number participants taking part in one race or another, and I was the
fastest one around the course, taking somewhere around 37 minutes to run
the five mile event
This year I have volunteered to be one of the co-captains forcompany
nameand will be taking on not only the responsibility of raising funds as
an individual participant, but for organizing and motivating the companys
efforts as well One of my strongest motivators within the company is to
shoot my mouth off and challenge the rest of the company to try and eclipse
the amount of money I raise as an individual as well as to try and beat me
on race day I have offered up several internal incentives to spark some
interest, and Im seeing a lot of people who want to make a certain someone
put his money where his mouth is Though none of you can help me on race
day, all of you can help me with the individual pledges
JDRFs goal this year is to raise over1,350,000 to help find a cure for
diabetes, company name corporate goal is to raise dollar amount, and my
personal individual goal is to raisedollar amount I would really
like
to be able to E-mail the manager for the event and tell her she only need
concern herself with raising 998,000 - and that Ill cover the difference,
so if you would like to help me save some face within the company, and much
more importantly, help find a cure for diabetes, please send what ever you
feel comfortable with to my home address:
