Meet Us at Chipotle: Fundraising Event Dec. 11th

/ / ,

We would like to thank the Chipotle Fundraising Team for selecting I Choose To Win for its in-store fundraiser. On December 11, 2016, we will host a burrito-a-thon from 12 pm – 4 pm. Every burrito/entree sold that day during those hours that mention I Choose To Win at the Fort Washington, PA location, will contribute toward a generous financial gift (50% of sales) Chipotle will donate to our nonprofit so we can continue to edify, empower and equip women to WIN in life. So, it’s in our best interest to pack the house that Sunday. We are treating this like an Open House, so arrive anytime between 12 pm to 4 pm (no commitment to stay the entire time), there will be raffle items, trivia questions and give-a-ways. Fun photo-booth style photos will be taken with inspirational and motivational messages.  Here’s the deal, we thought about football and church conflicts and have come up with the following ideas to get you in the door: Get Your Grub Before The Game: Make it Mexican at Your Eagles Watch Party! If you and your friends or family plan to 1:00 pm Philadelphia Eagles game against the Washington Redskins, grab your burritos ahead of time! In fact, get a bunch, cut them in half and serve them for lunch to all your guests. Skip Post-Church Sunday Brunch. Make it Mexican for Lunch: Those of you who typically do brunch after church on Sundays, change it up and grab a burrito, salad bowl or tacos instead. Just this once . . . (pretty please). If you do, I will take a few nice pics as you grub on Chipotle in your Sunday best. Fuel Up Before You Shop: You’re gonna be hungry if holiday shopping is on the calendar. If you’re going to spend money somewhere, spend it here, where 50% of proceeds support 2017 programming. Thank you in advance. Just Meet Me at Chipotle. Period. If you haven’t seen us in a while, come out on this day anytime between 12 pm – 4 pm. We are making an event out of it, so it’s still an impactful time while fundraising. Hope to see you there. To Sign Up in advance, CLICK HERE TO LET US KNOW YOU’LL BE THERE. If you sign up, I will send reminders. Add December 11th to your schedule before you forget. This is a save the date announcement. More details will be provided as the event nears. To RSVP: CLICK HERE

Reflections on Cocktails for A Cause: Thank You!

/ / , ,

Thank you to all who attended, purchased a ticket, donated online and in person! It was such a fantastic, high energy, enjoyable fundraising event. I am just so grateful for Angela Harris for nominating our organization, the Pyramid Club for hosting us so comfortably, Beat Peace for the melodic sounds and good vibes, Andrea Sanders for the inspirational charge, Candids By Candy for the memories captured, and Kinese for reminding us how beautiful dancing is when it’s a gift and truly felt. All of our guests added flavor and energy to the evening that brought immense value for a wonderful overall experience. Because of your generosity, we doubled our $1,000 fundraising goal in order to have (2) workshops and (1) magazine production in 2017. With the additional funds raised, I Choose To Win will expand its soon-to-be released social campaign entitled, “I’m All In!” addressing social injustice and racial tension and inviting others to join in.  It will be the development of a web presence that helps those who desire to restore love, peace, compassion, humanity and solidarity with quick-access, turn-key action steps recognizing that change starts with me. It starts with you. Stay tuned. To see the pictures from that memorable night, click here.
