The North Pole Endurance Team is a group of folks that walk and run together to enjoy each other's
company, help each team member with their training and to support worthy causes. Team members can
support the same or different charities. We participate in many events throughout the year
(marathons, 1/2 marathons, 60 mile walks, and others). Click on the
Team Events
link to see what events we are currently participating in. Our current causes include: Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day (BC3D), Champion the City Choir of Washington (CCCW), The Fight Against AIDS (TFAA) and Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure (GRC) . A summary for each cause is provided below. The team members and their causes are:
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day Summary Can you imagine a world without breast cancer? It's hard, given how pervasive the disease is. But go ahead, let yourself envision that world. Because it's not a fantasy. It's a reality within our grasp. Each step we take on the Breast Cancer 3-Day brings us closer to ending the disease forever. Eighty-five percent of the net proceeds of this event go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant. The remaining fifteen percent of net funds goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, which provides ongoing support to breast cancer initiatives, so that strides made today can continue to propel us toward our goal. Click here to see Breast Cancer 3-Day details. Everyone has been touched in some way by breast cancer. And recoiled from the touch. No family should lose a mother prematurely, or a dear friend, sister, wife, daughter, or co-worker. No one just diagnosed, should have to look at the mirror in the morning and say: Will I survive? Everyone deserves a lifetime: we feel it deep in our bones. We are asking you to please help us reach our fundraising goals by becoming a sponsor for one or more of us at our Breast Cancer 3-Day fundraising site "North Pole Endurence Team" or at one of these individual fundraising sites Santa, or by sending a check made out to "Breast Cancer 3-Day" to: Champion the City Choir of Washington Summary The City Choir of Washington, led by Grammy winner Robert Shafer, is presenting its fourth season of great choral masterpieces and they need your help. This chorus represents an extraordinary level of personal commitment by individual singers and supporters, who have donated countless hours of their time and talents, as well as remarkable generosity in actual dollars. This newly formed chorus is bursting with ideas to foster interest and involvement in choral music. An outreach chorus has been presenting programs at schools, nursing homes, and other locations where live music is a cherished treat. In addition, this chorus provides opportunities to children's and young adult's choirs to perform in a professional setting. Click here to see CCW details. "She sings, he runs" For a third season Susan and I are combining our "slogan" as a joint request for your support. Susan has committed to making "Soldier Quilts" to be given to wounded soldiers. For every $500 donated through "Champion the City Choir of Washington," Susan will make a quilt for our wounded soldiers. If you would like to sponsor a quilt in your name, make a $200 donation and e-mail me a note to let Susan and I know that you are sponsoring a quilt. Please Champion the City Choir of Washington by sending a check made out to "The City Choir of Washington" to: The Fight Against AIDS Summary Several of us have chosen to fight AIDS because AIDS is the worst epidemic the earth has seen since the Black Plague. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now estimate that more than one million Americans are living with HIV. Up to one-third of them do not know they are HIV-positive. Nationwide, someone under the age of 25 is infected with HIV every 30 minutes. Despite recent advances in medical treatment, the AIDS epidemic is far from over. Fund raising for the FIGHT AGAINST AIDS helps men, women, and children with AIDS lead longer and better lives. We would run 100 miles to extend the life of a child one day. Click here to see AIDS details. This will be the tenth year that some of us have been running to help fight AIDS and the need for your support is greater than ever. We am asking you to please help us reach our fundraising goals by becoming a sponsor for us at our fundraising site "http://www.yourcause.com/Schreurs" or by sending a check made out to "Whitman-Walker Clinic" to: Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure Summary Funds raised by the Global Race for the Cure supports breast cancer research and community-based outreach programs. Up to 75 percent of the Komen Global Race’s net income stays in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to fund local screening, treatment and education programs for the medically underserved through the National Capital Area Grant Program. The remaining dollars support the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Global Promise Fund, a program dedicated to reaching underserved people in areas where breast cancer mortality rates are the highest. We are asking you to please help us reach our fundraising goals by becoming a sponsor for one or more of us at our Global Race for the Cure fundraising site "North Pole Endurence Team" or at one of these individual fundraising sites Santa, or by sending a check made out to "“Komen Global Race for the Cure" to: |
