Spring is here and it's time to start thinking about boobs! Saving boobs, that is! The Knitters for Knockers team is at it again, ready to raise a bunch of money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The race is Saturday, May 7 in downtown Richmond. Here's how you can help:
1. Donate! Your donation is tax-deductible and MUCH APPRECIATED!
2. Join the team! Click here to join our team. Can't make the race? You can Sleep In For the Cure as well.
3. Donate! Did I say that already? It's that important!
In prior years we've run a raffle, but we're finding that it's been less successful, so we're going to forgo it this year. We still need your donations though - Knitters for Knockers has consistently been a top fundraising team and we need your help in 2011! Please donate now!
