How many of you are going to do the Buddy walk this year? Do you have a team name??
We did the walk in 2005 and I am really wanting to do it this year but things are crazy here.

We haven't done the walk in a few years but we ARE doing it this year. I have the link to Russell's fundraiser page down with my signature here Our team is Russell's Rascals. I have never done a team nor raised money before so this year we decided to get with the program and RAISE THAT CASH! ;D We are doing good so far!!! For every $100 raised we earn a ticket to the Cardinals game on Sunday. Our walk is Sept 1st, and the game in on Sunday the 2nd. This is usually the biggest money maker for most DSA's so I decided to get with it this year. I am excited. I am also going to probably do iron on's on the back of our shirts we get for the walk. A.

We did it last year and raised a lot of money (from friends out of town) but had a small group since we are new to town. This year, we plan to do it and I hope we can get more buddies.
We are the Krewe of Ibby. Ibby was born in New Orleans, at a hospital on the parade route on Mardi Gras day. So he is our little Mardi Gras king. We had a wagon for our float, had matching shirts with the logo and photo of Ibby, photo buttons, and gave out Mardi Gras beads. Luckily, there were a lot of people here who had been to Mardi Gras so they got it - but some looked at us like we were crazy when we tried to give them beads.
I better get working on this year as I gave out all my leftover beads last year - I'll have to order some for this year. The local ARC in New Orleans recycles donated beads, sorts and packages them and sells them as one of their client staffed enterprises. I hope to be able to get them from them and support their work. (Sorry that was so off topic, but I find it a very creative use of resources for their ARC.)

To be very honest we use to do the walks every year but have gotten away from them in the last few years. No excuse just have not attended and I don't think I will be doing this year either. Maybe one day we will get back into it CC ~

Joy I think we would be at the same one. I am still thinking about it. I am trying to think of a team name.
