SandyS Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Oh man you guys - I submitted the form to Lance Armstrong's Livestrong website weeks ago to get some Livestrong yellow braclets ($1.00 a piece.) I was asking for 200 of 'em. I just got the following email today: "Dear Sandy, Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that your request for Live Strong wrist bands have been approved. We have selected your event from a competitive pool of applicants, and we are confident that your organization will have a positive impact on the survivorship community. On behalf of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, we wish you the best for your event and hope that it exceeds all expectations. Your wristbands have been shipped via USPS ground and will arrive in 2-3 weeks. In return for the wristbands, we request that you submit a photo of your group to our website at www.laf.org or via mail. Thank you for your support and work in this area! Sincerely, Partners in Yellow Committee" Oh man - I'm literally crying tears of joy! I had to tell them the walk was for Lung Cancer, and I figured they'd reject us! Oh crap - I'd better email Renee or she'll never forgive me..... SandyS Quote
Ry Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Sandy, This is great...we want to see a picture too! When you send one to the LAF send one to Rick to post in the scrapbook. Rochelle Quote
Fay A. Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Congratulations on a job well done, Sandy! And I'm getting a kick out of your exuberance! Quote
Hebbie Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Sandy, That is so incredibly GREAT! I downloaded their form about 2 weeks ago to remind myself to order some and haven't had a chance. I might give this a shot myself for the NJ walk! Way to go girl!!!!! Quote
SandyS Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Heather - I think it took about two weeks to get an answer.........hope there's still time! SandyS Quote
Cindy RN Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Congrats Sandy!! You never cease to amaze me! Cindy Quote
cindi o'h Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Boy Sandy.. With these bracelets in tow, your walk will for sure exceed your/our dreams.....thank you for being so clever.... Cindi o'h Quote
NellW Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Sandy that is sooo incredible!!!! Good job girl! Quote
teresag Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Great job, Sandy! Thanks for making a difference! Quote
elnodel Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 That's great! And we all want to see pictures of the walk! Good to hear that the foundation came through -- you read so much about people selling those bracelets for profit and NOT for cancer! Ellen Quote
Rachel Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Hi Sandy, I know this is a late reply but I have been out of town. I returned home to find an envelope from someone I barely know with a yellow Livestrong wristband in there for me. He is a running companion of a dear friend & prostate cancer surviver. I wear it all the time. Good job on your part Sandy getting wristbands for your walk. I wish I was feeling better to have organized something here in Ketchikan. Very small town though. Good luck & best wishes. Rachel Quote
