10th ANNUAL
BREAST CANCER FUNDRAISER
A Special Thank You From Camille
It is with great pride that we announce a collection total of $9,491 for the 2006 Breast Cancer Fundraiser. This brings our ten year total to $125,891. 100% of these monies was contributed directly to the organizations listed below.
***
This could not have happened without you, the GLBT Community & Friends. You have supported this event through the years with your endless generosity and warmth.
There are always so many wonderful people who participate in our annual Breast Cancer Fundraisers, without whose help and support this important Benefit would not be possible. I’d like to use this opportunity to thank you.
I want to thank Guardian Record Recording Artist, Ellen Lambert, who drove 9 hours from Vermont to host this year's event. She worked endlessly all day to bring in the money, and she treated us with her vocal talents. I would also like to thank DJ Twisted Dee (Denise Gurney) who flew in from Florida and rocked the house. Special thanks to Ian Crawford, and to Pandoras Vox, who proved once again that they are the best Female Band.
Thanks to Way Out Productions for taping parts of the Benefit. Thanks to Billy from PM Magazine, Tom from Outlook, Pali and Long Island Pride Parade for their support. Thanks to our Email manager, Dot, and to Bodacious for managing the Forevergreen and One More Shot web sites.
Thanks to Karen and Sue from Massapequa IHOP, as well as Peter Renda from the Hicksville IHOP, for handling the monies. They collected and counted money for over 7 hours on the night of the Fundraiser. I would also like to thank Barry and Jim Coppola for use of their Credit Card machine.
Thanks to Eva and Rosie of Sanzio Foods, and Tommy Leahy of One More Shot for the good eats.
Special Thanks to Eva Sanchez for handling the door and multitasking!
Thanks to the volunteers who worked the floor hour upon hour selling raffles: MaryAnn, Cheryl, Dot, Kellie Ann, Adrienne, Lorraine, Kelli and JoAnn.
Thanks to the Staff of Forevergreen (Debbie P., Kelli, Evie) and the Staff of One More Shot (James, Eddie, Anthony, Cherie, Kelli, George, Christopher, and Jim our all around guy), as well as Helen from Club 608 (honorary staff member), and of course many thanks to Tommy who somehow always keeps me sane.
