Women supporting women in the name of prostate cancer!

In Spring 2014, I met Rebecca Evans, Attorney-at-Law, and she became my and my parents estate planning attorney.   I could not ask for a more intelligent attorney who handles such important matters with grace, respect and compassion. I highly recommend her and suggest you check out her and her mom's Northern Virginia firm here: http://www.deblaw.com/.

Last year, Becky donated to Denny's Shotgun Riders, and I was very appreciative. This year, she came to me with a suggestion and I just couldn't pass it up! She recently joined Thirty-One as an independent consultant because she fell in love with the products after having her second child in October 2015.  Having two kids has required her to stay better organized in order to stay sane with the two of them and working full-time! Her love for the products grew and she wanted to share them with others!  Becky told me, "It's a great company that provides great incentives to its consultants but also offers me the flexibility to donate my commission to fundraising causes I believe in - which is great!" Well, I also think it's great, because Becky has graciously created her first online fundraiser with Thirty-One and offered to donate 20% of all product sales to Denny's Shotgun Riders!

If you are on Facebook, look for an invite to the fundraiser site from me.

All you have to do is "shop now" and place an order. The online event is officially open and will close on May 31. Take your time, peruse the site, and purchase some incredible items while helping me raise money to put an end to prostate cancer!

I didn't know much about this company except that another friend of mine in Pennsylvania was a consultant. She donated two items for the fundraiser so those of you who will be attending the actual fundraiser on April 28 will have an opportunity to bid on those items. Because of Becky, you now can purchase as many items as you want, in the comfort of your own home between now and May 31.  Again, 20% of sales will be donated to Denny's Shotgun Riders!

About Thirty-One (direct from the website):

"Thirty-One Gifts is about so much more than just a bag. We are a family of individuals who share a passion for empowering women, and who are committed to celebrate, encourage and reward others for who they are. The name Thirty-One Gifts comes from Proverbs 31, which describes the attributes and the importance of a “Virtuous Woman.” Our mission is to help women by giving them the opportunity to own their own business, providing them with all the tools and support necessary to find success and possibly build a new career! We believe in the power of relationships, and while the modern world says relationships can thrive from a distance, we know better. We’re passionate about bringing women together and creating opportunities for them to shop face-to-face while building new friendships."

What a great concept! Empowered women encouraging each other!  How ironic that a beautiful woman and mother who is an independent consultant with this company is offering up almost all of her commission to help another passionate woman bring awareness and raise funds to put an end to a man's disease!!

I am woman! Hear me roar! Let's do this ladies!! Together, we can change the world! Or at the least make a dent in it!

 

Thank you, Becky!

 I am truly honored that you have chosen my cause and my dad's journey as your first fundraiser event!
