For Keeps Sake will be sponsoring a team in the St. Louis Komen Race for a Cure for a third year. We call ourselves Carolina Sue's Crew. A lot of you guys know Sue from the store. I am not sure if you know that she is a breast cancer survivor. Three years ago FKS formed a team to support her and the many people fighting this battle and to honor everyone living with and touched by breast cancer. This year my mother was given the news that she too had breast cancer. I have to tell you that one of the first things she said was, "this year I get a pink shirt!" (survivors receive pink shirts) She has seen the sea of pink shirts downtown for years and she knows that she too can be a survivor. Can you believe it? She has a such a great attitude about the news and I am sure that is why she is doing great. Breast cancer deaths continue to drop and it is believed that information and early detection is key. If you have been downtown on race day you will see the word is getting out! Come join in the fun while supporting and helping others.

Join our team!
Want to have some fun? As a team we will meet on race day June 16th at 7:30 a.m. at FKS. We will carpool and enjoy a morning downtown. Afterwards we will return to FKS for donuts and a make n' take! You will create a mini book to enjoy your photos from the race. You simply register on line under our team name with our code. (details will follow) What if you don't want to attend the race but would like to be a part of our team? You have two options.
1. Register as a Sleep-in for a cure. $30 for a t-shirt mailed to your home. ($10 priority shipping) Mark Sleep-in when you register.
2. Register under our team name to walk. $20 and your shirt will be at the store on race day. (this does not commit you to walking, just allows me to pick up your shirt pre-race.)
In the past we have had several people that didn't go downtown but registered to donate and receive a Komen St. Louis Race for a Cure t-shirt. I will pick up the shirts in advance and all you do is stop by the store for your t-shirt and fun!
Every team member will also have a pink ribbon with their name on it hanging on the gazebo at the store. We look forward to covering the gazebo in pink. Hope you will join us!
Register on-line with your credit card BEFORE 12 noon on May 29.
