Campaign Mania!

The Kings for a Cure Student of the Year Campaign benefiting The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is in full swing now.  Francesca has organized a total of 8 local events and seen four of them to completion.  All while managing finals at school, championship season in swimming and her diabetes! 

Our goal of raising $15,000 before February 26th is in sight, but we still need your support.  Attend events, like and share our team Facebook posts and, most of all, donate HERE.  Every little bit helps. 

Here is a recap of what we've been up to since January 15th.

Restaurant Night at Argia's in Falls Church that raised $450.

Super Bunco Night!  Door prizes and donations of $1,000!  Thanks to our hostesses Patti, Maite and Amy.

Carson gets in on the act!

On January 30th, the Nikola Paskalov Benefit Piano Concert and Silent Auction raised nearly $3,000 and was covered by Voice of America Macedonia.  You can see the press coverage HERE, where you'll see a few familiar faces and find out that we now speak Macedonian!

L to R:  Pianist Nikola Paskalov, Jacqueline & Leon Bruner (the hosts of the evening) and Francesca 

And finally, Box Before the Bowl on February 1st at Title Boxing Club Falls Church.  More door prizes, a great work out and another $400 raised for the cause.

This week will be another restaurant night on Tuesday, Feb 10, at Mad Fox Brewery followed by a proceeds night on February 13 at Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt.  Saturday, the 14th is the Regional Swim Meet and then we head into States the following weekend in Blacksburg.  In between those swim meets is Clean for the Cure sponsored by our local dry cleaner Potomac Cleaners.

So, come out and join us, check out our team news and events on Facebook, or Twitter @Kingsforacure.  Please spread the word and the donation link as well.

Thanks to those who have supported us so far!  With your help we're sure to reach our goal!
