Servers for a Cure Fundraiser

Please accept this letter as a personal invitation to be part of our campaign by donating to our cause called ‘Servers for a Cure’ a non profit organization that is not only promoting awareness in our community but also raising funds towards the fight against breast cancer. Over the last two years our previous event name, ‘Kingston Taphouse and Grille End Breast Cancer’ patio fundraiser, had raised over $20,000 in the fight against breast cancer. This year as ’Servers for a Cure’ sponsored by the Spectra Hospitality Group, were hoping to beat our previous earnings in this years event!

Carlene, a server at the Kingston Taphouse and Grille, launched this event two years ago in an effort to find a cure for this cancer that almost took the life of her aunt 5 years ago. “My auntie Linda has become the most strongest and bravest woman that has ever graced my life. Her strength and power to survive was one of the most empowering moments in my life‘. Carlene has spoken. ‘And because of her I will fight until the cure is found‘. This type of devotion and passion is something that Carlene felt through the thought of losing a loved one. Auntie Linda is a true inspiration for Carlene and in turn Carlene is inspiring all those around her.

In an effort to bring local servers together to help voice her concerns Carlene created ‘Servers for a Cure’ and recruited her friends, ones a fellow server at the Kingston, and the other is a manager at the Kingston. With passion and inspiration behind these girls, they are committed into making this years event a journey of 'love, courage and hope' towards finding the cure.

The location of the event will take place at the Kingston Taphouse and Grille July 17Th, 2008 between the hours of 4pm and 10pm. A Fifteen dollars cover includes entertainment, door prises, poker tournament, ten dollar burger and Granville island beverage, drink specials, ’Servers for a Cure’ calendars; a calendar of local downtown servers ‘exposing’ themselves to promote awareness and a silent auction; items including; golf packages, wine packages, weekend retreats, spa getaways, BBQ, restaurant packages and pub crawls.

For everything that you have ever wanted to do in your life but never had the chance too, for wanting to change something but never had the courage too, for any woman out there fighting for her life, but quit because there was not a cure, for every child out there who lost their mother because there was not enough time. Now is your chance to do it, to change it, to fight it, to stop it. Because for every person fighting is a chance to save a life.

Be a part of the cure and help encourage others in the community by joining this cause. Donate to the ‘Servers for a Cure’ campaign. It’s a commitment we are willing to fight for, are you?
