A Note from Kendra Driemeyer
Thanks to all the generous Women of the Summit members for the gift certificates and items which were donated in 2006 for the MS event - all sold for very good bids. Visitors as well as locals kept bidding interesting for everything from the hot air balloon ride to the massages. Over $5,000 was raised at this event!
I am currently looking for items for this year’s auction – date is April 28 at Mi Casa in Breckenridge. Music will be by Keith Synnestvedt, a local favorite. If you don’t have something you/your vompany can give I have contacted with some local businesses to buy discounted gift certificates such as Colorado Rocky Ballooning. Another idea would be to ask your favorite businesses if they would do the same thing.
We had 47 walkers in 2006 who raised over $80,000. 100% of the money collected was used to support those with Multiple Sclerosis – 40% to research with the National MS Society and Colorado Chapter Research Challenger and 60% to directly help those who need it through the Center for Neurorehabilitation Services Foundation in Fort Collins. CNS started processing grants in January, please pass on this information to anyone you know with MS. Applications are available on the website listed below.
The 14 Wild West MS Walkabout Steering Committee (volunteers) are business members from throughout the states of Colorado and Wyoming, all with full-time jobs and are supported by their families and communities.
If anyone is interested in walking/helping with the 50 mile, 3-day event Aug 24, 25, and 26, please call (970) 393-2684, or for more information visit: www.WildWestMSWalkabout.org.
Please come and enjoy the music, margaritas and food. Steering committee members and walkers from last year’s walk will be there to meet. This is a family friendly event.
