Went to the fifth annual Crystal Lake Bunco for Breast Cancer yesterday. It was so much fun! I had 4 wins and 8 losses. Last year they raised $50,000 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, definitely collected more than that this year! My Aunt Carol is a survivor (for several years now) and it was great to see her and all the other women who have conquered this killer.
624 women were there, most wearing various shades of pink. There were raffles of gift baskets and I actually won one! It was the Interior Accents basket and included (among other things) some gift certificates to local restaurants (I’m leaving them with my mother), a ‘Save the Boobies’ T-shirt, and a pink cashmere scarf. The list of donors was several pages long, it was an amazing event.
My cousin Laura also won a raffle basket. It had a gift certificate for a tooth whitening procedure and a discount on designer shoes. She sat at the lucky table with me!
