countdown has begun....

The countdown has begun! I hope everyone is just as excited as I am---the 17th annual Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure is less than 2 weeks away.

The Kids for the Cure race was held Sunday--over 500 children signed up to race around the Capitol grounds on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. A big thank you to all who participated; and kudos to all who volunteered to help.

This Friday will be the 5th annual 3 Miles of Men Tailgate Party! Are the men in your life signed up for 3MOM? This year the party will be at the Diamond Bear Brewery from 5-7pm, and Larry's Pizza will be providing great pizza and Diamond Bear the beverages. There will be prizes, music, and entertainment...so if your hotties aren't signed up, make sure they are by Friday!

Also, the 3MOM will get their own complimentary tee shirt when they register. On Race Day, the first 100 men to show up at the Capitol Smokehouse will get a free breakfast catered by the Smokehouse owners. Plus, they are directly on the Race route, so all the guys will have a great vantage point of cheering on the women racers as they come down Capitol Avenue.

Don't forget---the absolute easiest way to raise money for Komen? By simply texting the word KOMEN to 20222. You can text up to 3 times, and each time you do, you will donate $10 to the Komen foundation.

Last but not least, if you have friends or family who still need to register, they can go to the Race Space at the Pleasant Ridge West shopping center in west Little Rock (just behind Carino's.) We have lots of great volunteers just waiting to help everyone register, buy a few goodies or buy tickets to the Pasta Party! So stop by and visit won't you? We'd love to see you!
