I am an independant PartyLite consultant and I was asked to set up a table of my stuff today to sell. I was so honored to be asked to be a part of this and I would be happy to help out again next year, this is an awesome cause. I had decided that I would donate the profit from everything that I sold. Well you would think that being a benefit that was advertised over the radio and everything would have been awesome, especially for a good cause. WRONG!!!!!!!!! =( I even sent out emails to everyone that I knew. I was really sadend to see that there was only like a hand full of people other than the vendors to show up. The profit from this even was not to go to research, it was to go to a person struggling with Breast Cancer, who is down and out emotionaly, physicaly, mentaly, financialy, and etc...
This benefit was also held to get the awareness out there that breast cancer can be undetected at an early age. The lady that asked me to do this event was throwing it in the honor of her sister that past away last year in December 2 months after they found it. She was only 36 years old and left a family with young children behind. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and the others that are struggling with any cancer.
I guess that I just feel so bad that I couldn't donate money; because I didn't get any sales, I was happy though that they did make $25 off the Silent aution piece that I donated. There was about 25-30 other pieces donated from other vendors and they did make a bit from that, but thank God that us vendors bought alot of the silent auction stuff.
I don't mean to complain! I just think that people are just plain selfish or something. I plan on doing some sales on my own and seeing what I can do to raise some money for this cause, I think that it would help out alot.
Take care to you all and get your selves checked for breast cancer even earlier than 40 years old. I plan on keeping track of myself.
