RELAY FOR LIFE
I (The Other Brother) will be walking in a Relay for Life event in Wolfeboro, NH on June 21st and 22nd, 2008.
Relay For Life® of Wolfeboro is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. More than 200 Relays will be held throughout New England in 2008, all celebrating survivorship and raising money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
Anyone wishing to donate to the American Cancer Society by sponsoring me may go to my online pledge form.
Thanks for your consideration.
Update: I participated in this event last year, and thanks to the generosity of BrothersJudd readers and friends, raised over $200 dollars. I'll be participating again this year, in particular to honor my long-time friend and mentor Thomas P. Fairchild, who lost a long battle with cancer last year. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

I don't think they're the most efficient, but perhaps worthwhile just the same.

ob (other brother), I had always heard that the American Cancer Society like so many other of the big charities spends most of its income on administrative costs, so I've never contributed to them. Have I been mistaken?
