REMINDER… LAST CHANCE!
The Crawl for Cancer is upon us once again! For all of you that don’t know anything about the Crawl for Cancer, you get 10 to 12 friends together, meet in Westport and drink beer all day… how can you argue with that? More specifically, each team of 10 to 12 people travel to 5 bars throughout the day and receive 4 pitchers at each bar. After going to each bar, all teams meet up at the Beaumont Club for an after-party of live music and even more tasty beverages.

When: May 15th at 1pm. Registration begins on March 8th and I will need to know who is interested and get money from everyone by Friday, April 9th.

Where: Westport

Cost: $50/ person. This covers your CFC t-shirt, beer and the rest goes to charity (including Breast Cancer Research Foundations, St. Luke’s Cancer Institute, St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, among many others!)

E-mail dweir@burnsmcd.com if you are interested. If you want to be grouped with certain people, let me know and I’ll try to make it happen. Teams will be partially assembled on a first come, first served basis (based on when I get your money). (Example – if I have 2 teams of 12 and 3 more people e-mail me late and we can’t find anyone else to join, those three people are out of luck. Sorry.) Keep in mind, if you do commit to go by sending in your money and have to back out after our teams have been submitted to CFC, you must find a replacement or just forfeit your money. If this circumstance takes place, I will try as hard as I can to help you find a replacement. If you want more info on CFC go to: http://www.crawlforcancer.org/.
