Since Yelpers are a bunch of do-gooders, I invite you to either join us in this year's Boston's Jolly Jaunt to raise money for Special Olympics and/or donate by sponsoring us.

Hey girl, this sounds cool. I'd love to run it but I have my Lil that day. So I'll bring her and we'll just do the walk part. This is a great opportunity for her to learn about charities. We've seen alot of walk-a-thons going on, and we've talked about it, so I know she's intrigued enough to do it. :D
Cool you can totally be there to cheer us on. There is actually a Campus Challenge this year:
From Selena:
This year there is going to be a Campus Challenge...detail below
Campus Challenge:
This year will be the 1st ever Jolly Jaunt Campus Challenge. Awards will be given out to the Top 3 Groups for fundraising, costumes, and the total # of people they get to attend the event including guests
Rock on! Count us as part of your team especially for costumes, fundraising and # of people on the team. Oneida will so dig that. Where should I register us? On the link above?
I'm in, I got a postcard for this in the mail and wanted to do it. My running buddies are going to a race that day in Beverly where dogs are allowed. But I wanted to join this race. Now, how can I join your team??
Melissa - if you click on the link above, you can click on the link to the Team Page and then join from there. That would be soooooo awesome that you join us.
Hey Roni! I just signed up. I can show up that day around 9:30am and could meet you and Team Danio wherever you'd like. PM me any details/info. I can't wait!!
Just a reminder - this is happening this Saturday. If you can't attend, please consider a donation. If everyone just donated a buck, combined we can make a HUGE difference!
Oh BTW for those donating, please keep in mind that this year, any amount raised this year will be doubled by Selena's family. :-D It's not too late to continue donating.
Melissa - did Selena get in contact with you with details about Team Shirts? Let me know if you need one. I'll also PM you my number for Saturday morning.
It's up to you on what you want to do. You can certainly join Team Danio and that would be awesome. We've met our goal by over $845, which is very exciting. Whichever way you'd like to do it. Either way it's going to Special Olympics. :-)
Hey Roni, I responded to your email to me earlier, I can't get out to make t shirts tomorrow night. Is it okay if I am without one? If someone makes me one, I'll pay them for it if that is necessary otherwise I was planning on dressing festive and warm!
