Breath of Life Walk Update:
We would like to thank everyone who participated, donated or sponsored this year’s Breath of Life Walk. So far we’ve raised over $40,000 and donations continue to come in. We had over 300 walkers, volunteers and staff at this year’s event, and the weather was perfect. The San Jose Sharks ice cream truck was a huge hit – they provided free ice cream for everyone! A special thank you goes out to all our 2006 sponsors:
Kaiser Permanente
Evans & O’Brien
Fresh Choice
O’Connor Hospital

Red Envelope
Silicon Valley Community Newspapers

Attention Team Captains and Walkers:
Friday, October 20 is the deadline for getting donations in to earn incentive prizes. We will be ordering incentive prizes on Monday, October 23. We will of course happily accept donations after that date, but Friday is the cutoff for earning incentive prizes. Your fundraising pages are still active, and donors may still pledge to you online. Send an email with a link to your page in order to get to the next level!
We will also be giving out special prizes for our top fundraiser's and team captains. These prizes will be determined after the October 20 deadline. Thanks again to all of you who supported our event, and we look forward to seeing you next year.
