Last Donation of 2021

January 1, 2022 by MsWas Leave a Comment

I’m so pleased to tell you that due to an end of year fundraising push, we were able to donate an additional $240.00 to the American Cancer Society. They had a matching grant at the time, so our donation dollars were doubled! And with Bothari43’s donation in December being doubled by her employer, Cannonball Read’s donations to ACS this year came to $1080. That brings our total donations to $9,655.   We at Cannonball Read are so grateful for all of our supporters and participants, […]

Donation Good News

December 7, 2021 by MsWas 4 Comments

We heard from Bothari43 this week that her employer was offering giving dollars based on her volunteer hours with us. Because we’re a pending 501(c)(3), her volunteer work did qualify for an internal giving reward. But because we’re only pending, her donation had to go directly to the American Cancer Society. Thanks to our incredibly successful #GivingTuesday, we were able to match Bothari43’s donation with another $300 donation to the American Cancer Society this morning. With this donation, we remember AlabamaPink, and we also remember […]

A Holiday Gift With PERFECT Timing!

December 7, 2021 by MsWas 3 Comments

Here’s a HUGE thank you to LurkeyTurkey whose Holiday Gift Exchange package was sitting on my porch when I got home yesterday morning. After getting sick with what turned out to be my SECOND bad cold since the beginning of November, I’d had to drive over to my doctor’s office to make an appointment for later in the morning because their phone lines were so tied up that no calls would ring through.  And sitting on my porch was a package addressed to “The Incredible […]
