Happy Father's Day!

From everyone here at Relentless Optimism, we wish all of you a very Happy Father's Day!

We would especially like to recognize the three husbands of our Relentless Optimism walkers.  Without you guys, Melissa, Melissa and Jen wouldn't be able to do what they are doing for the 3 Day.  So thank you all so much for being the wonderful, supportive fathers that you are!

Miguel with his son Jonah (L) and Bill with his son Ryan (R)
(Editors note: I promise Bill is a great father, despite forcing his atrocious taste in baseball teams on his sons.)

Todd with his daughter Reese

We would also love to take a minute to give a shout out to the two Dads that are on our team, Tommy and Doug Schenck.  We're so excited to have you both as part of our team!

We walk for our loved ones, those lost and those fighting."  This party promises to be a great time, so mark your calendars now!

Ladies are encouraged to wear pink for a chance to win great prizes!  

Pearl Lounge will be serving $5 pink martinis in honor of the Breast Cancer 3 Day, with a portion of those proceeds also going towards Sharon's fundraising efforts.  There will also be an amazing sushi bar until 11pm and a great DJ on the patio outside and inside on the dance floor.

To reserve VIP seating, please contact Alex Torres at 239-878-6901.

This is a great opportunity to have some fun while supporting a great cause!  Come on out to support Sharon and the Breast Cancer 3 Day, have some pink drinks and get your groove on!

Happy Mother's Day!

A belated but heartfelt wish that each and everyone of you had the happiest of Mother's Days!

We are inspired on our 3 Day journey by own mothers each and every day, including Marcia who watches over us.  It is with their love and continuing support that we all work towards the ultimate goal of someday finding a cure for breast cancer so that no son or daughter ever again has to say good bye to their own mother too soon.  Thank you Moms!

   The Mag Moms (from L to R): Diana Moreland, Marcia Schenck, Karen Sager and Mary Lee Barrows

If you would like to honor your own mother through a donation to Relentless Optimism and the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure, you can do so through our team webpage.  As always, thank you so much for your continued support of our team!
