Okay, so as of right now I'm $510 away from the minimum of $2300 to walk in the Breast Cancer 3-Day. A lot of people already know that this disease robbed me of a grandmother 19 years ago. I don't want anybody else to be able to say that, ever. I have no adult knowledge of what my Nana Kersey was like, but 8 year old me loved her a lot. I like to think she'd be proud of me for doing this to honor her memory. And it's stupid. That is probably the simplest statement I could make about the whole situation, but it's honestly the best I have. I was robbed of a grandmother by this disease (not to split hairs, but I was robbed of four grandparents), I am determined to have something to do with ending it.
So. What can you do?
Well. Free donations are always welcome (duh!), but thanks to the overwhelming generosity of several cosmetics companies I'm putting on a little raffle. Here's what's in it:
A MAC eyeshadow palette filled with 15 eyeshadow pans in whatever colors the winner wants http://www.macpro.com/templates/products/sp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY15103&PRODUCT_ID=PROD7780 pro, perm, whatever you want!)

There are also three second prize sets that include
A MAC quad with 4 eyeshadows of the winners choice,
a Sigma brush set
a Konad stone kit
and more is coming in but I don't want to reveal it before I know for sure what it is!
The second place prizes are all worth over $100!
So here's how I'm doing the raffle. Go to my fundraising website http://www.the3day.org/goto/_kacie click on Donate to Kacie in 2009, fill in the form do your thing. Tickets are $10 each, if you'd like more than one just go with whatever $10 increment you want, and in the box that says Personal note for the participant make a note that you want to enter the raffle.
This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/kaciegirl/3day/DSC02986.jpg) is everything that I've received so far for the raffle. I'm still waiting on the Coastal Scents palette and Calypso Mineral Rainbow Stacker but they're both in the mail!
Please please consider entering, it would mean the world to me for you to help me get to my goal!
xoxo, Kacie
