New to SITS? Welcome!! Go read this to get started.
Some of you may be familiar with Spirit Jump, a nonprofit organization dedicated to lifting the spirits of men, women and children battling cancer. SITS has been a strong supporter of this organization for the past year, throwing a hugely successful fundraiser for them in Las Vegas. We are excited to announce Spirit Jump has started a new project called Cards For Cancer Day.
On or around April 10th, 2010 Spirit Jump and team leaders around the world will bring bags of cards to their local cancer centers to be given to those battling cancer. Spirit Jump’s founder, Meaghan Edelstein, has asked us to help make this day a huge success. They are looking for people who can make, collect and deliver cards to local cancer centers and of course…blog about the experience. This is the perfect project for kids and families and a great opportunity to help those in need.
There are several ways you can join Cards For Cancer Day:
1- BECOME A TEAM LEADER: a Team Leader makes and collects uplifting cards and commits to deliver the cards to local cancer centers on or around April 10th.
2- TEAM MEMBER: a Team Member helps make and collect the cards and then passes these cards to their Team Leader in time to be delivered.
3- TELL EVERYONE: Blog and Tweet about the event.
It’s really that simple and they need more people to help them reach their goal of delivering over 100,000 uplifting cards.
If you would like to learn more about Cards For Cancer Day you can visit their blog www.cards4cancer.wordpress.com If you would like to participate just click on the tab in the upper right hand corner of their blog or just click here.
SITS Girls Bloggy Boot Camp now has tickets available for the Phoenix and San Francisco events!
And, of course, you can link up your contests and giveaways!

Sunday is still my favorite day of the week =]
Just finished ‘The Shred’ for the morning, ate a healthy breakfast, now getting ready for church!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend SITS!
This is a great idea!
I have many friends and family members who have been affected by cancer and the treatments that were necessary to save their lives and I KNOW these cards would be such an encouragement.
