Congratulations to our TBBCF 2019 top fundraisers
By ELLEN SWERCEWSKI
As we prepare for our 15th annual walk in October this year, we pause to take a look at our 2019 top fundraisers.
These are individuals and groups who go above and beyond and give more than 100 percent in fundraising efforts. They host events, run promotions, walk as individuals and recruit walk teams.
We organize these groups using the “Olympic medal metaphor” into the following categories: Gold Medal – $10,000 and above; Silver Medal – $5,000 – $9,999 and Bronze Medal – $2,500 – $4,999.
We offer our immense thank you to ALL our individual and team walkers who train and walk each October and to businesses and groups who run events and promotions to raise money to ensure we can give 100 percent of the money they raise to breast cancer research.
