"Up Til' Dawn"

A little over a week ago, I was asked by one of my teammates if I would like to participate in a fundraiser that her house (sorority house that is..) was holding for the St. Judes Childrens Hospital. So I said, "Hey why not?!", I mean its not like I had anything better to do for the rest of the week. Lol- Plus I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity for me to get some community service hours :) hah. This Halloween themed fundraiser occurs every year in October and has always been very successful.... So I've heard. Lol.

The theme for this years fundraiser was

-"Scare Away Cancer"-

"TEAM TIE-DYE"

In order to participate in this fundraiser, each participant had to pay a 5 dollar admission and were assigned to a team. Each person also had to bring 50 house addresses to mail the donation envelopes to. So from 8-12pm (with little breaks in between.. LOL) my team and I had sat around this table filling out donation sheets, writing addresses and licking envelopes :) Now as boring as that sounds, of course there were other activites going on that gave us time to take little breaks so it actually wasn't too bad at all :)

Aside from making donation letters, each team also had to come up with costumes for the "Best Team Costumes" Award... and our team won :) LOL- which was only because we were the only team there dressed up! Hahaha we tried to look like hippies... my costume was a last minute sorta thing that i just grabbed from my closet. Haha at least we got free bowling passes!

Ahhhh! Now these two girls are the funniest white girls you will ever meet....... that is, if you ever get the chance to meet them. LOL- on your left is my dead sexy friend Darian Lightfoot (: also known as D-Money! Now this girl will make you laugh non-stop. She has jokes for days and almost everything she says qualifies for a facebook status most definitely. LOL- I love her. On the right is her best friend and big sorority sister Katherine. She is just as funny and very smart. Her strong personality just brightens up any room and her charm makes her very easy to get along with. These two wonderful women were the highlight of my night.

There were lots of activites going on such as raffle tickets and prizes, bobbing for apples, decorating mini pumpkins for your dormrooms, pizza and unlimited fountain drinks! They also had a pretty sick haunted house downstairs that everyone got to go through free of charge :) Darian of course was way to chicken to go through so me, Katherine and KP decided to go. No lie- it was a pretty badass haunted house. Lol. I'm pretty sure I had my arms around KP's neck the entire time because I was so scared... Boy do I love Halloween :)

Overall this was an awesome night. I had a blast with the activities and felt pride in myself for helping out in supporting the fight against cancer. I know this wasn't the best blog ever but I couldn't help but rush.. Lol Sorry :/ anyways, i hope i've given you a little bit of insight of something I thought was a great thing to blog about. hah. Till' next time (:
