As Finals is fast approaching, I wanted to inform everyone that we have decided that on the Friday of the Ram Rodeo Tour Finals at the Mississauga Hershey Centre this year, we are going to have the Ram Rodeo Tour Pink Night. This gives all the cowboys and cowgirls of the CCA East, the members of the Rodeo Management Group and the Ram Rodeo Tour fans a chance to help support research for a disease that seems to touch everyone in one way or another, Breast Cancer.
For the Pink Night, we encourage everyone to show their support by wearing PINK. Be creative and help us to raise funds to “Buck” breast cancer for good. To raise funds we will be selling donation cards in front of the Hershey Centre before the performance in an attempt to “Paint the Hershey Centre PINK”. Also, we will be hosting a silent auction in the lobby of the Hershey Centre. Any donations for the silent auction would be greatly appreciated whether they are something that can be auctioned off by itself or something that can be put together with other things in a gift basket (e.g. bottle of wine, event tickets, etc.). They can be horse/rodeo related, but do not have to be limited to that as we will hopefully see a diverse audience at the first show of what should be an amazing Finals to wrap up a thrilling 2010 Ram Rodeo season. Anyone who has donations for the silent auction table is asked to bring them to myself in London if possible so that they can be organized in the week leading up to Mississauga.
We are also looking for volunteers to help sell the donation cards prior to the performance and a few volunteers to man the silent auction table on Friday evening during the performance. If we have a few volunteers for the silent auction table then people can rotate and still be able to see the event of their choice. Anyone who is interested in volunteering to assist with any of the fundraising events is asked to contact Bill Thom or myself.
Thank you in advance for any donations and/or assistance that you may be able to provide and I look forward to seeing everyone in London for the heavily anticipated finish of the 2010 season.
Kind Regards,
Candace Thom
