THE RESULTS ARE IN...

I am very very very happy to announce the results from this year's Shop to Stop Breast Cancer.

The results are OUTSTANDING!!!

Net Total Raised: $48,363 (if you meant to donate you can still help get us to $50K... go to http://www.inlandagency.org/Donatebreasthealth.html)
--- Mammogram donations: 108
--- Cash Donors: 203
--- Inventory/business donations: Over 142 donations amounting to $52,741
--- Volunteers: 7 board members, 16 from Kappa Kappa Gamma, 5 from Van Horn Youth Cadets and 50 other family and friends throughout the entire event.
--- It took 1 huge 26' Uhaul Truck and 4 other trucks to get the inventory to the Marriott Riverside.
--- Overhead costs were very low - which means over 90% of all donations went directly to Inland Agency's Breast Health Programs.
--- The happy surprise boost to our total raised was a Kaiser Grant that timely arrived within days of the event!!!!


I have personally received many wonderful comments and compliments on the event this year. Thank you to all who made an effort to get comments (and the event planner in me appreciates constructive criticism) to me.

One thing is for sure, this event cannot happen without tremendous community support.

So, again, THANK YOU - your generousity makes all the difference...
- Rina
