Summertime Picnic of Fun to End Breast Cancer
Mommy Club parterns with Creative Kids and Teeter Tots Playhouse to bring you a Family Picnic on June 17 in Calgary for Face Painting, Clowns, Bouncers, Games, Crafts and more in support of the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
Calgary, AB (PRWEB) May 31, 2006
In just a few months, Team Mommy Club of Calgary will join thousands of dedicated women and men in Calgary, July 28-30, 2006, to walk 60 kilometres over two days. This four member mom team is offering fresh hope to cancer victims by participating in the second annual Weekend to End Breast Cancer benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
Karen Dorcas, Christine Forgrave, Leslee Simmons and Michelle Davies, Mommy Club™ members, will raise money and awareness by pounding the pavement and participating in this weekend-long event for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
As mothers, we are committed to ensuring our children have the experience of living life with the loving guidance of healthy CANCER FREE mothers. Team Mommy Club will walk with the energy that we (NOR OUR DAUGHTERS) never need to face the emotional and physical pain that breast cancer brings.
To help raise funds for their walk, the Mommy Club organization along with Creative Kids and Teeter Tots Playhouse will host a Summer Celebration Picnic on Saturday, June 17 at the Tuxedo Park Community Centre (202 - 29 Avenue NE). This family fair includes outdoor games, bouncers, parachute, ball toss, face painting sponsored by Teeter Tots Playhouse as well as crafts sponsored by Creative Kids. There will also be a unique shopping gallery and silent auction for moms and dads. This bring-your-own picnic runs from 10:00am to 1:00pm (weather permitting). Minimum donation is $5.00 per family with all proceeds going directly to the Weekend to End Breast Cancer.
With one in nine Canadian women diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, Team Mommy Club is thrilled to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation and their innovative cancer research for the development of new treatments and compassionate care.
