So proud of the Ladies in my Mom's group ..... and for the record, I think this makes GREAT sense!
October 19, 2012 - Markham - The Cornell Moms Group unites in a series
of stunts to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation of
Ontario. The “Cornell Moms Pink Gorilla Challenge” started with a group
of Moms in the Cornell area of Markham, Ontario challenging one another to wear
a pink gorilla costume and have their picture taken in random places around
Markham. Since then, it has morphed into a fun and unique way to raise money
for Breast Cancer Research. The initial stunt, performed by group member
Jennifer Simmons, snowballed into an inspiring local event raising money in
support of Breast Cancer research.
At time of release, over $2,200 has been raised with 18 completed stunts and with 16 stunts (and counting) booked for the coming month. Upcoming stunts include participation in the Markham Home Show on October 20th and the Camp Treetop Family Hallowe'en Party on October 28th. The campaign will culminate in the Cornell School "Pink Day Challenge" at the end of November that comprises a friendly competition between the three Cornell schools to see which school can raise the most money for the Pink Gorilla cause!
The Cornell Moms Group has nearly 500 members supporting each other through daily challenges from raising a family to reintegrating into the workplace and advice on best products and services. The group is united in the belief that it truly takes a village to raise a family. Many of the members have been personally affected by breast cancer and we dedicate our support to this challenge in memory of loves ones lost and in support of our community.
Please join us at one of our special events or make a donation online to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation: http://www.cbcf.org/ontario/GetInvolved/Donate/Pages/default.aspx. We invite the media to join our challenge: please feel free to sign up to don the Gorilla suit and complete a stunt of your own!
