Homecoming recap

It's nearly September, which means that the 2013 Relay season is almost here! We've had a busy summer (with more coming next month!), and it's been a lot of fun. The biggest event we've done yet was Homecoming, back at the beginning of August. Though it was pretty hot, we all had a great time. We got to talk to some really amazing people, we got into a marshmallow fight with the superintendent of schools (he started it!), and we raised about $1,500 for the American Cancer Society! Plus we could see War perform from where our table was, so that was an added bonus. 

Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend. The first is our table set-up from the first day. We rearranged things a bit every day, so if you were there, this might look different. The second picture is of the beautiful handmade quilt we raffled off that weekend. 



Overall, it was a great event! Check back here next month for details on another event we're working on. Team Dearborn will be in a craft show at the end of September.

Bowling fundraiser

Hi everyone! Team Dearborn had an amazing time at Homecoming this past weekend. We met some great people, raised over $1,500 for Relay, and shared a lot of information! Now that we've had a couple of days to recover, expect a full post about the weekend soon. For now, though, we've got another fundraiser coming up this Saturday. 

Join us at Skore Lanes in Taylor (22255 Ecorse Rd.) on Saturday, August 11 for fun and fundraising! Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for kids 12 and under. (Families welcome!!) Price includes two games of bowling, shoe rental, pizza and pop. Check in takes place between 4:00 and 5:00. 

If you want to bowl with a group, just let us know and we'll put you on the same lanes. Tickets available from any Team Dearborn member.

We'll be doing a 50/50 as well!

Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society through the Relay For Life of Dearborn.
