Bowling for Boobs 2010




Last night was the 3rd Annual Bowling for Boobs produced by the fabulous ladies (and gentlemen) at Illuminations and myself. This year was a complete success and a total sell out for the first time! We had 64 teams, 8 incredible sponsors and 32 fabulous donors. Unofficially (because we are still counting) we have raised $17,000 for Susan G. Komen! This is the most we have ever raised in a single event, which brings our total for the past three years to over $45,000! THAT'S RIGHT!!! I cannot express how proud I am of our Atlanta design family, this event has grown to be such a success in such a short period of time and that is all thanks to the support we are given by our fellow designers, reps, vendors, friends, and family. This all started because Elaine and I wanted to do something to stomp out this disease that has affected both of us personally and every year we get a little bit closer thanks to the overwhelming support we have received by this community.

First off, a HUGE thank you to our 64 teams who made this year the most successful and fabulous event we have ever had!

Thank you again to our incredible Sponsors, who make it possible for us to donate 100% of the money raised to Susan G. Komen.

Bowling for Boobs!

Is back again for round 2! This is the second year I have produced this event and it is happening tonight! It started last year when I decided to do the 3-Day walk for breast cancer and I needed to do some fundraising. I got together with my friend Elaine at Illuminations and we decided that there should be a fundraising event to help support the fight against breast cancer. So many people are affected, Elaine's sister is a survivor and I lost my mother to breast cancer. We knew that we could get Atlanta's Architecture and Design Community to come together and raise money for a great cause while having a great time! I am so excited, we have 50 teams signed up, that is $10,000 going directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure! I have the most amazing raffle items, I am keeping my fingers crossed that we sell tons and tons of raffle tickets! It's going to be a great time for a great cause, thank you in advance to all of our awesome sponsors for helping to make this fundraiser possible and our fantastic participants for their support! This is one of Atlanta's most fun A&D events and I can't wait for tonight!
