Success at the Cheeseburger in Paradise!

We had an absolutely AWESOME Fundraising event last Thursday (6/18/09) at Cheeseburger inParadise. Thank you all for coming, the turnout was phenomenal – we raised about $5,000 for the 3 Day Walk to find a cure for Breast Cancer. Here are some pictures from the event:
















Bob James, Phil Perry, Ken Levin and Dave Fisher admire Bob's new "Landshark Surfboard".


Christine, Melanie and Tony actively bidding on the silent auction, against each other - it got vicious!



Heather's got her hands full!


We had almost 400 attendees throughout the night, braving monsoon-like wind and rain to arrive. The raffles and silent auctions included some amazing prizes and helped to generate almost $1,500 towards that total.

We are 1/3 of the way to reaching our Team’s goal of $15,000, so a big “THANK YOU” goes out to all the attendees and bidders, our sponsors, the Cheeseburger in Paradise crew (especially the hard work, creativity and generosity of Tiffany, Kristen and Nick!), and entertainer of the century John Friday, who generously donated his time to make the event especially festive.


John Friday, "Doing his thing"...

Dave, Tony, Bob and Christine - They seem happy now, but the bidding is just getting started!




Sami, Paige, Dana (this is normal for her!), Oscar and Mike.





The 3 Day breast cancer walk in Boston is a 60 mile trek from July 24-26 to raise awareness and research money to help find a cure for this disease that has, most likely, touched all of our lives. Please take a moment to visit our team’s website or our Blog to learn more or donate again.

Thanks again,

Jeff Cody
