On Sunday we had our tribe fundraiser "Comedy Kicks Cancer" - a night of standup comedy & silent auction at the Market Theater at Pike Place Market. I wasn't quite sure what the turn out would be, we were competing with the Oscar's after all, but we were all very pleasantly surprised when over 80 people showed up! We had the food, beer & wine donated for the event along with the venue and comedians. People have been incredibly generous and I've learned they are usually very willing to get behind a great cause!
We had 75 silent auction items and people left with all sorts of things from pet sitting (can't wait to take up Scottie on that) to hotel stays to handmade scarves, jewelry, event tickets and all sorts of impressive sports memorabilia. It was amusing to watch people bid for items and then "hover" to make sure their bid stuck. I have to admit, my competitive nature came out a few times too as I didn't want to lose a few key items :)
So thank you to everyone who came out to support our team, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and most importantly cancer patients and their families.
Can you believe we have only 4 weeks left?! GO TEAM!
