As you may have seen, there is a BrightLife doo-dad on the top right of my blog. Clicking the photo will take you to a website that will tell you the story of Tim Bright, my good friend and sorority sister's husband who is currently battling stage four colon cancer. He was diagnosed just 3 months prior to their wedding in 2010! Can you imagine?? He is now 29 and while going through all of his treatments and appointments, he still maintains an upbeat and witty attitude. :)
BrightLife was set up by two couples who are friends of Tim & Jenny to help with all of Tim's medical costs.
The reason for this post is to spread the word about the 2nd annual BrightLife Tee It Up golf tournament that is going to be taking place on Monday, April 23, 2012 in Greenville, South Carolina. All proceeds benefit Greenville Hospital System’s iTOR Center for Cancer Research.
How can you help, you ask?
Lots of ways!
-Go to the BrightLife page and donate! Any amount - big or small- helps!
-Get that man in your life (women welcome, too!) to sign up for the golf tournament! $150 per person or $600 per team. Entrance fee includes 18 rounds of golf, boxed lunch, and two tickets for the dinner and silent auction.
-Sponsor a hole! Minimum donation of $175. Your donation includes a sign with your logo at the hole, your logo upon the sponsor table poster & the ability to leave collateral at the sponsor table as well as your logo on the silent auction listing program.
-Donate an item for the silent auction! Please contact amanda.lenar@erwinpenland.com if you are interested in this option.
If you'd just like to attend the dinner and silent auction, that is also available to do for the small fee of $15!
Thank you for reading this very important blog post! Spread the word, especially if you live in the Greenville area! And go get those colonoscopy's! :)
If you'd like to read more about Tim and follow him through his journey, he has made a blog to keep everyone up to date: The Story of Tim.
and go buy koozies and bracelets!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Just stumbled onto your blog and the title stopped me in my freaking tracks -- I am obsessed with friend pickles and speak about them regularly on my blog! Why'd didn't I think of your cute blog name for my blog title? Haha!! I kid. You are just darling and gorgeous and everything in between! Cheers to Friday!
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted this! A great cause and a fun event!
ReplyDeleteI've actually heard of him and their story before I think. Such a good cause. I love when people rally around a family that truly needs it.
