Top Team
We are thankful, honored, blessed, and humbled by all of your support this year! Later this week, our team for the Michigan event will be heading to the 'pink bubble' to celebrate the lives of those we have lost and take many, many, many steps to help support the research and support programs offered through S. G. Komen.
If you're in the area, stop by one of the cheering stations along the 60-mile route!
Last call for donations!
We are currently in the running for 'top teams' for fundraising! Click here if you would like to make a donation. Just choose your favorite coconut and you'll receive a tax-deductible receipt immediately.

Training Time!
It's almost that time of year again! Time to start logging miles each week to prepare for #the3Day. Each year, the event publishes a training handbook to take make sure you have everything you need for the journey. What a fun surprise to find a few coconuts in the back of the book. If you would like to join us, there's still plenty of time to sign up for our Michigan team or our San Diego team!
See you on the route!

Thank You- Top 10!
Team Coconutter Strutters has a HUGE thank you to announce!
With your help, we are one of the top 10 teams at the Michigan event. We have raised over $32,000, to date. That's INCREDIBLE! (If you haven't had a chance to donate, check out the fundraising page for Susie Gallison and Karen Pearson. They are working on their minimum goal and need to raise $2,300, each.)
To date, you have helped us raise enough money to provide over 260 life-saving mammograms!
We will soon let you know how much money the entire Michigan event has raised or you can join us at closing ceremonies to be the first to find out. If you are not able to make it out to the event, you can follow our journey on Facebook. Will will share plenty of pink photo ops along the way!
Thank you for all of your support,
Team Coconutter Strutters

Fundraising Friday - 1 week (MI)
This saying is a perfect fit for our Michigan team this week as they wrap up their fundraising. We have collectively made a HUGE impact on the fight against cancer. For many of us, this journey represents HOPE for a future without the terrible 'C' word.
At the time of this post, we are currently at 95% of our goal. We are also one of the top 10 teams for the Michigan event and can't wait to get out on the route next weekend and tackle those 60 miles! Please help us get our last few team members to their goal of $2,300.
Large or Small, we love them all (donations that is!)
Click here to donate to Cupcake Coconut, Windy Warren.
Click here to donate to New Coconut, Karen Pearson.
Click here to donate to Firecracker Coconut, Susie Gallison.
We hope to see you out on the route next weekend!

Fundraising Friday - NEW COCONUTS!
Maxine Przybylowicz and
Karen Pearson are new to our team but not to the 3-Day
event.
Maxine, Karen and Victoria on event in 2013
This year is Karen’s 9th
year participating in the 3-Day and Maxine’s 6th year. They are mother and daughter. Karen will be walking and Maxine will be
crewing this year. Karen was injured in a car accident in December and has
undergone knee surgery and weeks of therapy. However, she is determined to walk
again this year. She says she may be slower than usual but she will do
it. Any of you that have taken part knows that feeling, it's just
something you have to do. Karen wasn't sure she would be able to walk
this year so she is behind in her fundraising.
If you would like to
donate to Karen, please click here.

In Abby's name, our team will be making a donation to Mott Child Life program. If you would like to contribute, please contact Vanessa. vanessa@coconutterstrutters.com

Fundraising Friday, with birthday cake!
Happy Fundraising Friday!
Today I have an extra special request- 2 of the coconuts celebrated their birthdays this week and we want to party!
Marathon Coconut (Char) and Dancing Coconut (Heidi) are both veteran walkers on our team. They both share the hope that their children won't need to walk in their honor!
Char during the Atlanta event in 2011. This year Char is walking in the Dallas event, click here to wish her a happy birthday with a donation!
Heidi (and her mom) during the Atlanta event in 2011. This year, Heidi is walking in the Twin Cities event, click here to wish her a happy birthday with a donation!
Thank you for all of your support!

60 days 'till 60 miles!
We are only 60 days away from walking 60 miles in the Michigan 3-day event! Please help us reach our goal - the money raised gives us hope for a brighter future {without cancer}.
The future coconut pictured above is lucky to call her grandmother a survivor!
75% of the net proceeds raised help support Susan G Komen's Research and Training Grant Program and large public health outreach programs for women and men facing breast cancer. The remaining 25% helps fund local community and Affiliate support and outreach programs.
Thank you for giving us hope!
