Garage Sale/Bake Sale at Community Tap!

Greetings to you all!
Just a BIG thanks to all that came out to the garage sale/bake sale that Sally at Community Tap & Pizza put on for us! And for those that donated items to be sold! The word WOW isn't enough to cover the night and its turn out! I dropped off some items in the morning of Friday June 17th and they were just getting things set up, with not too much going on! Well by the time I went back there to drop off more items, there was allot of items dropped off & already sold! The sale was to start at 4pm, but people kept stopping and buying! Can't turn away early sales! And the sales were going until dark! :)
The Angel Shirts were being sold too, along with 50/50 tickets! The 50/50 tickets sold $463.00 with 1/2 of that going to the winning ticket $231.50! That was an awesome total! The girls worked hard at getting that money collected & people were still wanting to buy tickets after it was all said & done with! There will be more chances at buying 50/50 tickets & don't have to be present to win!
It is so heart filling to know that so many people are willing to help out in events like this! The items that they brought out to sell, baked goods were plentiful, and many came out to enjoy the band Salty View that was playing! The sun was shining and it turned out to be an awesome day!
We now are selling those rubber bracelets that say "Angel Ride to Save the TaTas" and "Hope" rubber rings, and soon we will have the "I <3 Boobies" rubber bracelets! I have had allot of people wanting to get those already!
Thanks again to Sally at Community Tap & Pizza & to the public for their support in helping us out too!! Also thanks to the radio guys for showing up to show their support to us too! You guys are awesome!!

Ride Safe~

Having Angel Fun!

June 4th was a fun day for the Angel Ride girls! We joined in the Frontiers Day parade here in Fort Dodge! The weather was awesome! Had plenty of girls show up to help out! And even kids and a dog with us! Sally brought her Vet, Cathy her Mustang! Laura, Tammy & Dale rode their bikes! Some rode in the cars, walked, and the kids rode their little battery Gator! Throwing candy to the kids! Handing out temporary tats to people was so much fun! Wish every day was parade day! I even showed kids along the route, how it rains candy! They loved it, as I did too!
On the parade route got to talk on the radio station with Mike D. & Jerry S. they wanted a Dudes for Boobs shirts, didn't have them with us, but delivered them later! Also towards the end of the parade was Duane M from the radio station, along as a good friend! He loved how the Angel came around the corner, and yes we let all the judges know that we were in full support for the Save the TaTas!! :)
On Tues Cathy & I went to the radio station to take the DJ's their shirts! Mike put us on the radio! A little scary but fun! Also Brett taped us for a later broadcast! They are all so nice to us, sold a couple shirts! And also found out that Von keeps up with my blog! I was surprised as I didn't know that anyone read these! Thanks so much Von you made my day!
After leaving the radio station Cathy & I went on a road trip to get donations! People have been so nice to us giving us donation! We even have one of our Angels that sent out sheets to have business donate! The sheets are starting to come in! It is amazing on what people will do or give to this cause! Whether they know someone that has gone thru breast cancer, are going thru it themselves, or anyone that has cancer at all! The big "C" word effects so many people!
This coming week, hopes to keep us all busy! There will be one bike night in Webster City at the Grid Iron, then on Friday Sally at the Community is putting together a garage sale to help us earn money! She has people wanting to donate items they no longer need, and well, it is time to clean out those unwanted items! It should be a fun afternoon! Then that night she has a band coming in to play! The Angels will be on hand to sell t-shirts, 50/50 tickets (for that night) there is a raffle for a pink rocking horse! So many fun things that will be going on!
Stay tuned for more Angel Ride fun yet to come!
Ride Safe, be Happy & TATA for now!!

New Shirts!

Hey there! Can't believe that the Angel Ride to Save the TaTas is up and on the go! Date was set, Got the ride figured out! Shirts are now for sale! Donations are starting to coming in! We have an awesome group of girls helping out this year! And all I can say is WOW!
Come to Amigos July 29th for the pre-party ,there will be a band there! Come party with the Angels! You can get your pre-registration all done that night too! It should be an amazingly good time! There will be food there for sale! 50/50 tickets & all around good fun! Then come back in the morning July 30th for the Angel Ride! Amigos will be serving breakfast before the ride!
After the ride, come on back to Community for a fun filled night! The Angels will be there for more fun! There will be live auctions, silent auctions & food! More details to come as we get closer! Oh, I will be starting to post donations as they start to file in!
We are hoping that we will raise as much this year, or close to it as we have in the past, as all this money goes to help local breast cancer patients with un-insured expenses! The money goes for wigs, scarfs, travel money, and so much more! This helps a 75 mile radius of Ft Dodge!
I have posted 3 of the 5 shirts we have for sale! You can buy the shirts at Community Tap in Ft Dodge, Party Production in Ft Dodge & the Beach House in Humboldt! We will be having tank tops this year, should be here this week!
Thanks for all the support you have given us in the past & hope that you will continue to help us this year!
Take Care & Save travels!

Getting things going!

The weather isn't looking as bad as this picture anymore! It warms up, cools down, and soon the weather will be just right for riding! People have been getting antsy to start their bikes up! But I hope that everyone is safe at the beginning of the riding season, because the cars are not use to the bikes being out again! Keep a look out! I, myself along with my 2 sons, and some friends will be taking the motorcycle safety classes soon! It will be fun to learn!
We had our 2nd Angel Ride meeting last week! We have many ideas being tossed around! Many donations being picked up! I tell the Angel Girls that it is better to be ahead of the games, as when the warmer weather comes, they will all want to be outside! I know I will want to be!
We have the ride about finished being planned out! It should be a fun one with lots of things to look at along the roads! Rivers, scenery, more than just fields! I think this will be an awesome ride! New places to go, new people to meet along the way! I know I have already met some super nice people while stopping in at their businesses while planning this ride! The local people are mainly friendly & want to help out with this amazing cause! Its heart breaking when you talk to some of these people too. One place that we were going to stop at (but they are going to be gone) he told me he wished he could of helped us out, as he just lost his mother to Breast Cancer a year prior.
You really don't know how this cancer has hit so many out there. I know I heard very little about it until I started working on the Angel Ride. Some ask if I, my sister or mother had it. I look at them and say no, but know others that have, and some survived some didn't make it. Its kinda like "Paying it Forward".
Soon we will be posting shirts up for sale, bandannas, hoodies, and misc items! There are some different ideas of what we are selling this year! We have had request for items, so watch out for what we bring forward!
Until the next blog, take care, be well & be safe!

Getting our Angels all together!

Can you say wow? WOW!!
We had our 1st meeting of the Angel Ride to Save the TaTas on Tues March 15th! We had a big group show up! 3 new Angels added to our crew... Oh we are always looking for new Angels to help us out! They bring new input to the group! Always in looking of new ideas, makes each day more exciting!!
We are putting together baskets for other causes too! The BETS for PETS Fur Ball 2011 for the Humane Society is March 26th, and D/SAOC Cake Auction is coming up! It is so great to be able to make baskets for these other causes, which also gets our name and date of the ride out there too! Posters are starting to go up too! Watch for them! If you are interested in putting up posters around your area of Iowa to help promote our ride, let me know and I can email you a copy for you to print off!!
As we get moving we will add pictures of the meetings, events we attend and donations we gather up for the ride!
IF you are interested in donating something for our Angel Ride, leave me a note! If your on Facebook, go to our sight and join it... Angel Ride to Save the TaTas!
Keep a watch out... we hoping to spread the word about our ride, early detection, and helping fight this Breast Cancer until we hear there's no more of it! Wouldn't that be awesome! Turn the world pink!! Think pink!!!

Until later~ Angel Ride Girl

Date Set... so much to do!

It is now March, and the year is already onto a fast start! WoW! I am not sure where time goes sometimes... we all get busy in our own lives and don't take time to stop and smell the flowers along the way... To notice those around us, just to say hi to them... Take time out to take care of our selves... It only takes 5 minutes (give or take)at the oncology dept. or woman's center to have your mammogram done! Early detection helps to save lives!
One of our own Angels is going through treatments now, early detection is how she found out... No one can stress about early detection than those going through the treatments! Its not what they had planned to take time out of their lives to go to treatments 5 days a week, and worrying 7 days a week... So PLEASE remember to take time out to get your check ups done!
All that being said brings us to this years theme will be, "TAKE 5 TO STAY ALIVE!" Beings it is our 5th year of the Angel Ride to Save the TaTa's!
The date is set for JULY 30th, 2011! Lets hope for another awesome day like we had last year! The weather was truly awesome, a little hot, but no rain!
So please mark your calendars to save the date for the TaTa run! JULY 30th! We want as many bikes, cars, trucks, vans there as possible! Because we want to have fun at raising money for all the breast cancer patients that we can! Last year we brought in $30,000! That is going to help allot of people! I say 'people' as breast cancer doesn't only hit women it also hits men! The money that is raised also helps those patients within a 75 mile radius of Ft Dodge! But no one is turned away!
I can't believe how many people that have gone or is going through breast cancer treatments! I told you in an earlier blog that I found out that my aunt and a couple other people I knew had it, years after the fact...and this weekend I found out that another cousin had gone through treatments a couple years ago... and that 2 of my class mates are going through it now... how many others that are in my life are going through this that I didn't know about....makes one wonder... I wish that more people would be open about it so that others may know it helps others to have knowledge about this horrible cancer! And that they are not alone!!
I hope to stay on top of my blog this year,last year we had some set backs at our house... water in the basement! Like many others that are already going through that around this area! Water is such a bad thing to deal with, but around here, its ice & water! Ugh!
Take Care, Keep warm until we blog again~
Your Friend~ Angel Ride Girl!
