Donations encouraged, the movie sponsored by Satchel's Grill, Shu's Idaho Running Company and The City Of Trees Marathon Association Inc. is

"A Race For the Soul"

396 people were selected for the start of the Western States 100 ultra running event by lottery. On June 23, 2001 at 4:20 AM their quest begins and so does this 52 minute documentary. Starting as a horse race in 1977, 14 original competitors raced to earn belt buckles for completing the distance. Now, without the horses, men and women test themselves in a quest for the same prize, if they complete the event in under 30 hours. Beyond the start in Squaw Valley, CA, some of the featured checkpoints in this video include: Robinson Flat, Devil's Thumb, Michigan Bluff, Foresthill School, Rucky Chucky, Highway 49 and the finish at Placer High School. You will meet many athletes as they trying to stay in front of the cut off times, maintain their body weight, and keep their feet in condition to keep going. Complete with helicopter footage, athlete interviews, and developing race dynamics, you will get a taste of what will be sacrificed if you dare to run 100 miles that includes 15,500 feet of elevation gain and 23,000 feet of decline.

We have partnered with Moxie Java Coffee Houses to collect and distribute new pajama and books to children in need living in group homes and shelters throughout the state of Idaho. Hundreds of the children we serve do not have families and are accustomed to sleeping in their regular clothing. Many do not have the comfort of pajamas and a book at bedtime. The need is great. All donations benefit the children of Idaho in twenty receiving organizations including: Wednesday's Child, Hope House, Hays Shelter Home, Boise Rescue Mission, Women and Children's Alliance and many more. All donations can be dropped off at participating Moxie Java Coffee House locations in and around the Treasure Valley. We collect all sizes from infant to young adult including adult large and extra large as well. Thank you for supporting our youth and investing in their childhood. For more information about the Pajama Program please contact Susan Wallace at 440-4589. Thank you.

Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk
What is this: The Breast Cancer 3-day is a 60-mile walk for women and men who want to make a personal difference in the fight against breast cancer. Participants commit to fundraising, training and dedicating an entire weekend to the cause.

Why do this: The 3-Day events nationwide generate millions of dollars to fund critical breast cancer research and community outreach programs through the Susan G. Komen for a Cure and the Nation Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Team Tickled Pink is powered by 3 Treasure Valley women who have made a commitment to this wonderful cause by walking, sweating, and even gaining a blister or two at the San Francisco walk this September. With the statistics of 1 of 8 women being diagnosed this year alone, we cannot sit back and take a wait and see approach; so we're hitting the pavement and asking for your support.

Want to help: Together with Shu's Idaho Running Company, Tickled Pink is hosting two fundraising events right here in our community. We would love to have you join us in our journey to a world without breast cancer.

When and Time First Event: Join us at Alive After Five at the Boise Center on the Grove Plaza on Wednesday July 9th. Entertainment will be provided by the funk/jazz/soul band On the One from 5 to 8 pm. We will have a booth where you can purchase raffle tickets for a pink cruiser bicycle along with other raffle items, purchase breast cancer awareness items, and make donations. Bring the kids and have their face painted with a pink ribbon.

2nd Event: Our second event will be held on Saturday, July 19th from 10am to 2 pm right at Shu's Idaho Running Company. We will have massage therapists for your pleasure (donations appreciated), along with a BBQ, numerous raffles items, and the opportunity for you to make a donation. Shu's will be having their big sidewalk sale; so come shop and enjoy a day of making a difference in the lives of so many.

Want more information? Want to make a donation? Want to join our team?
