Fund-raising Update

We're close!  Oh, so close to the magical $5,000 figure! 

According to the latest tally on the official JDRF Walk Central website, Team Shelby has raised $4,899.58 in the 2008 Walk to Cure Diabetes.  That's a mere $100.42 away from reaching the Silver Award level of fundraising!

In a year as financially troubled as this one, that's an amazing job turned in by everyone.  But it also will mean just the second time in team history that we've fallen short of reaching the $5,000 Silver Award level.

This year's walk is still open from a fund-raising perspective into the spring.  So if you know anyone who wants to claim another $100.42 in charitable donations on their taxes, this is a great opportunity!

Seriously, though, thank you to all of you for your hard work!  It was a tremendous walk this year, and we look forward to another great walk in 2009!
