Everyone a Winner

45,900!
Amazing!
45,900 of you came together on Saturday, October 16, to declare that We > Me, that you are the winning strength in the battle against breast cancer.

And what a glorious day! And what warm, loving, generous beings you all are. It was evident in the way you walked hand in hand with your family and friends; it was evident in the hundreds of men who lined the street to encourage their loved ones; it was evident in the teams who participated this year.

Take a look at the winners of our largest Teams categories--so many people wanting to help came together as teams. I wish we could list every single team, for you all deserve gold, no, pink stars.

And without further ado, our winners are:
Corporate (& largest):       Blue Team--AR Blue Cross Blue Shield
School team:                        UAMS Cancer Institute
Hospital team:                     JRMC
Financial/investment:      Simmons First
Community team:              Hot Pink Tomatoes
Small Business:                    Barbara Graves Intimate Fashions
Non Profit team:                 SPP Power Puffs
Government agency:        Milli's Pink Love
Church team:                       St. Mark Baptist Church
Social group/org:               Team Elliott-Joyce Elliott for Congress
Public relations/media:   The Paper Dolls--AR Democrat Gazette

And, we can't forget your creativity! The tee shirts that we received for the team t-shirt contest---wow--once again it was very hard picking just three! But we managed to narrow it down, and the winners, in no particular order are:
Rainwater, Holt, and Sexton
ATC Scientific Beauties
Arkansas Federal Credit Union

Check back tomorrow for pictures.

Thank you, our participants, our sponsors, our volunteers, our fundraisers, our survivors, our race committee, our staff, our TEAM CAPTAINS.
Thank you, Donna Easley, our 2010 Chair.
Thank you Ed Drilling and Anthony Lucas, our honorary 3 Miles of Men Chairs.

Yes, We > Me. Not just in October, but all year long.
May you all, all 45,900 winners that you are, be blessed with love, good health, and happiness, and may we all meet again next year on October 22.

Cheers!
