Team Donovan

Check it out. We made The Beach Reporter newspaper.

To All Team Donovan Members and Supporters,

Never mind all my worries about not meeting our goal. I should have known that Team Donovan always dominates.

Yes, it was Total Donovation once again this year. Because of your support, 2007 is our biggest year ever! We raised a total of $41,000 in online and offline donations and won first place. WOW! Teams have already challenged us for the top spot next year and all I had to say was, “Bring it on!” We all know that Team Donovan loves the friendly competition! Overall, Beach Cities Relay For Life raised $310,000 and they are still accepting donations so who knows where our team ends up! After 5 years of participation, Team Donovan has raised a total of $170,000. Please pat yourselves for this accomplishment and for a job well done!

I can’t even tell you how grateful I am to each and every one of you for making this so memorable. It is truly all about the cause and it just so happens to be fun as well. Special thanks goes to the people who gave so much of their time and efforts in setting up Team Donovan. You all know who you are. I hope you all enjoyed the Christmas in July theme as much as we did. I would have to say that this year’s highlight was the swarm of bees that nested their way to our Christmas tree (I think this beats last year’s crazy lightning storm). It was wild! I was in shock when I saw a group of men from the fire dept, some in their white overalls (head coverings and all), carrying our team’s Christmas tree outside the track towards the trash bins! The ACS has now banned Christmas trees thanks to Team Donovan. I thought that was funny. This year the ACS also started a Cancer Prevention Study and I just wanted to thank all of you who participated.
