Update on Katrina Relief Drink-A-Thon

I want to update everyone on the Drink-a-thon and once again ask for your support.

First, a big thank you to all of you who have already pledged or donated money. I sincerely appreciate all you can give or have given, whether it is $1/drink, $10 lump sum or whatever. Remember, the money isn’t going to me, it’s going to all the people in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi who have lost everything – so every little bit counts.

Second, word on the Drink-a-thon has hit our local media. Today an article was released in the Westword (a local denver paper) Click here for the article: http://www.westword.com/Issues/2005-09-22/news/offlimits.html
So exciting! The Westword will also be present at the event on Saturday.

The Rocky Mountain News’, Penny Parker, mentioned us in her column last Friday. Click here if you are interested in reading it.
Also, one of our local radio stations, Alice 105.9, has us featured on their Web site. Click on this link to view, http://www.alice1059.com/alicecares.asp

We sent out an updated press releases today, so hopefully that will generate a little bit more buzz and raise more money. It’d be really something to get to our goal of $10,000.Remember, to pledge or donate money, please visit our Web site at http://www.katrinadrinkathon.org/. If you click on “Make a pledge”, that will allow you to make either a pledge or a lump sum donation. (Donations and pledges will be collected after the event)So this is my final plea to you – please pledge or donate money. Please.If you have already given and can’t give any more, great! Please don’t feel guilty, the point is to help the needy, regardless of it’s through the Drink-a-thon or some other charity. Also, if you can’t afford to give, don’t feel guilty, I totally understand.For everyone else, anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated, $.25, $1.00, $5.00.

Thanks so much for your support!
