Thank You for Helping Us Make A Difference!

To all of our supporters of the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund and TRI-ing For A Cause:

We want to thank you for all you did to make this year a success! We exceeded our goal of $8,000! 

For those that got flocked and donated money to get those pesky little flamingos out of your yards, to those that followed on Facebook and responded to the call to donate, and to those that participated in the triathlon along with those that were spectators in their TRI-ing For A Cause t-shirts (still for sale), we love all that you did for our great cause!  It was truly a great time for all, but most of all for the children that will benefit from our efforts.

We look forward to many years to come and growing the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund.

Thank you,

Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund

TRI-ing For A Cause in 2013

This year is our 6th year to raise money for the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund by TRI-ing For A Cause. Over the past 5 years we have raised over $26,000 and it continues to grow!

Our goal this year is to raise $8,000!

The Mark Felice Triathlon Team will be competing in the Cap Tex Triathlon on May 27, 2013! This year our tri team is growing, our goal has increased to $8,000, and a few of us are raising the bar by competing in the Olympic distance triathlon (double the Sprint distance)!

As we challenge ourselves to go the distance I challenge you to read Mark's story, donate to the cause, participate in fundraising, buy a t-shirt and cheer us on at the race!

Happy 27th Birthday Mark!

As you probably know by now, this blog is dedicated to raising money for the Mark Felice Childhood Cancer Fund. We often talk about the cause, fighting for cancer, and why we TRI but today is different.

Today would have been Mark's 27th Birthday! Birthdays are a special occasion because they commemorate the day someone dear to us was born. That doesn’t have to stop just because they passed on. I was Googling ways to remember Mark on his birthday and here are a few they recommend:

• Write a birthday card
• Visit his grave (Click here for Austin Memorial Park Cemetery information, map to grave site location)
• Donate
• Say a prayer! (Prayer from Mark's celebration of life)
• and Celebrate! 

So I plan to celebrate! If you want to join me, please do!

"You've Been Flocked!"

This year we have a unique and fun fundraiser that we need your support for! We will be placing flocks of hot pink plastic flamingos in the yards of Austin homes asking for support. The yards that get "flocked" are elected by anyone who donates and fills out the form below or selected by our team (could be you!). The person that has been "flocked" can either donate, select another person to be "flocked", or choose not to donate. The idea is to spread the word, expand our reach to the community, and raise as much money as we can!

If you would like to elect a yard to be "flocked" we would appreciate a small donation and to fill out the document below and email it to AnnMarieFrancese@gmail.com.

"You've Been Flocked" Order Form: Flamingo Flocking Word Order
