Please help TeamCecilia

On May 14th, eight year old Cecilia Anne Bellissimo of Hidden Hills was diagnosed with cancer and she has since been undergoing radiation and intense chemotherapy. To show our love and support for Cecilia and the Bellissimo family, a Run and Fundraiser for Cecilia will be held on September 11, 2010 at the community center in Hidden Hills. In order to make this a successful fundraiser, volunteers and donated items are needed.
The Talbert Family Foundation is dedicated to providing direct financial support to local families with members suffering from catastrophic illnesses, primarily cancer. They try to locate families that need financial assistance and provide funds without any strings attached through a program they call “TFF Kids.”
You can join team Cecilia at the Calabasas Classic 5k 10K run on November 14, 2010 or go here for more information.
All this is handled under the auspices of the Talbert Family Foundation. The Talbert Family Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.

Rules Team Cecilia Jog-A-Thon
Julie, this is what I found:
1. All participants may start collecting pledges as soon as they receive the pledge sheets. Reminder: Pledge sheets need to be turned in on jog-a-thon day, Sunday, November 14, 2010.
2. Pledges may be made by anyone. Please ask everyone who pledges if their company has a matching gift fund policy.
3. Each sponsor making a pledge should write their own name, pledge per mile, and/or maximum pledge.
4. On jog-a-thon day, runners will run 1 mile, 5k or 10k. Mileage will be recorded on their Champion Chip timer. Results of the run will be posted on the Calabasas Classic website.
5. Runners may then collect outstanding pledges. Please return pledge sheets with the money to TFF, by November 30, 2010. Make checks payable to The Talbert Family Foundation. Please note in the memo section – TEAM CECILIA.
We look forward to all our participants having a great time! For questions or concerns, or to volunteer, call Julie Talbert at 818-715-0428 or via e-mail Julie@TalbertFamilyFoundation.org
