I had an awesome day this past Sunday. Friends, family and readers came together in Irvine to walk or run in the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Cinco de Mayo event as we all reached for a cure for pediatric cancer.
The team spirit and feeling of community was intoxicating.
Recently I discovered a company called SquareSpot which launched in Orange County a few weeks back. As a SquareCard carrier, you can get special deals and discounts from participating local OC companies by simply showing your cute teal green SquareSpot Card when visiting your favorite businesses.
Even better, you can click HERE to “Get Your SquareCard” for free with promo code TINYORANGES through May 10th, 2012.
Not only that, every person that signs up to receive the card with our TINYORANGES code will automatically be entered to win a $150 gift card to Burke Williams Day Spa! Can I hear a big “WOO HOO!!”?
On May 6th, 2012 ,Team Tiny Oranges will be rocking the PCRF Cinco de Mayo event to fight pediatric cancer. Want to join us? It’s not too late! Click here for more info. There are a few fun-draisers going on right now that I wanted to share and we would love your support…
I started Team Tiny Oranges last year because I wanted to do a charity project through my blog.
I knew I wanted it to benefit a charity that helped children, so when I heard about the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation’s (PCRF) annual Cinco de Mayo Run / Walk event which happened shortly after I posted this guest blog from a mommy reader who was a pediatric cancer survivor looking to raise awareness, I knew this was the cause I wanted to support.
I wanted the opportunity today to share the story of a mom I met last year through PCRF, Kim, and her son, Gavin.
When you are not personally affected by pediatric cancer, those words are just that, words. But what I learned through doing our team, is that behind the words, “pediatric cancer” there are countless stories of families facing this horrendous disease. Families that need our help.
It is my hope that by sharing their story today…
For those of you that are new to my blog, Tiny Oranges was a part of something very special last year when 110+ people joined our Team Tiny Oranges to help find a cure for pediatric cancer in the Cinco de Mayo Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) Run / Walk in Irvine.Together, we made a difference in the lives of children and families affected by pediatric cancer.
Now Team Tiny Oranges is back again to make a difference in 2012! Will you join us?
How many times have you been at preschool or the park and met a new mom and said, “we should exchange info!”?
Well, these darling call me cards are the quick and easy way to share your info and the best part is that 100% of the price is a tax-deductible donation to Team Tiny Oranges to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation!
