Two Fundraisers for Fat Disorders Research
By
Our own Kristi Lowery, recently named Fund Raising Chairperson, has had a busy summer raising funds for FDRS. Kristi hosted a very successful booth on July 21st in her hometown of Canadian, Texas, at the
NEWS CHANNEL 10 SUMMER CELEBRATION.
Kristi enlisted the help of some good friends, Ruth Ward and Diane Underwood, who worked hard alongside a host of other volunteers, selling roasted corn, hamburgers and hot dogs to a hungry crowd. Along with a smile and good food, they also handed out FDRS brochures helping to raise awareness about fat disorders. A good time was had by attendees of all ages.
Kristi is now hard at work on final details planning her upcoming
SECOND ANNUAL CANADIAN,TX FDRS FUNDRAISER
on September 11th, 2010 from 10 am to 4 pm
Last year’s event was very successful and this year Kristi has expanded the event to include a 5K Run/Walk and a 1 mile Fun Run/Walk organized by Mistie Walser. There will be a luncheon at Noon, a Silent Auction, Speakers and a screening of an original documentary film, “Going for the Underdog”, by Kimberly Lowery. There will also be opportunities for CVAC sessions at reduced rates at the Canadian CVAC Center.
So, if you haven’t made your plans to attend yet, there is still time to come join in the fun for a worthy cause. Thanks to Kristi, her friends and family for their dedication to FDRS and their hard work to raise funds for research. You rock!
