Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 10-19-08

[Schph Gochi]

As many of you know, I have done the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" Walk in Aurora the last couple

of years. My group does the walk in our Star Wars costumes and last year we did a nice job in fund raising.

I have been a little slow to fundraise this year because of our economy, gas prices, food prices and the

price of just about everything. I know that most of us do not have the disposable income that we had
even a year ago.


But, breast cancer is an important issue so I am starting to fund raise for this year's walk.

I will be walking again on October 19, 2008 at the Aurora Premium Outlet Mall.

If you can and would like to donate to this cause you can do it on-line by going to this page on the website

(it should come up as the Aurora event).



makingstrides.acsevents.org/site/TR/MakingStridesAgainstBreastCancer/MSABCFY09Illinois?pg=entry&fr_id=11686


then click on "Donate"

then click on "search for a walker"

then type in my name Phyllis Schulte

and I should come up under the team of the 501st and Rebel Legion United.

You can also send me a check...made out to the American Cancer Society...

and I will do the input for you.


Thanks in advance...and please...I do understand if your finances are tight...please don't

feel that you have to donate...truth be told...I really hate fundraising...

I decided to try to do a little additional fundraising this year for the Making Strides event and whipped up the Child's Jedi costume shown below...

You can choose raffle tickets to win this child’s Jedi costume (details on the costume after our commercial announcement) shown here:







Or, you can choose having an armband made and worn by one of our walkers to remember a family member or friend lost to breast cancer or to honor someone fighting this disease…R2 is modeling his stylish armband….Armbands will be mailed to you after the walk is over.









To get in on the action….
for those wishing to use a credit card….
first you go here to access our team’s participation page for the Aurora “Making Strides” event.

ON THE RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE A THERMOMETER WITH A CLICKABLE LINK BELOW FOR YOU TO MAKE A DONATION.....

Click on donate to the team…and make your donation. If you are selecting the raffle on the costume-you will get one raffle ticket for each $1.00 you contribute.
If you would like an armband.....any donation over $5.00 will get you an armband.

If you chose the raffle-let me know the name to put on the raffle tickets…I will then post to this thread your sequence of raffle ticket numbers.

If you choose an armband…let me know the name of the person you are honoring or remembering. (“Honor”=those still fighting and “In Memory”=those lost to breast cancer).

If you would prefer to donate by check:

Also make sure to indicate whether you are interested in the raffle or the armband.

Costume details:
Costume includes everything you see in the photo (EXCEPT LIGHTSABER) : Outer tunic, cheater undertunic, tabards, obi, belt, and robe. Outer tunic, tabards and obi are made from 100% cotton knit jersey. The undertunic is made from 100% cotton crinkle gauze. The robe is made from 100% cotton flannel. This costume is unisex – for a boy or girl. All pieces are highly adjustable to fit a wide variety of sizes. Outer tunic and robe are un-hemmed in order for you to customize and are left plenty long for even a tall child.

Winning number will be drawn after the walk is completed by an official of the American Cancer Society-Making Strides event. I will mail the costume out the next day by Priority Mail to insure that you receive it in time to hem for Halloween!


I decided to have my neice put on the costume so that people could get a better idea of what the costume would look like on a real child...

Caroline is 11 years old....just shy of 5'2" and wears a girls size large or about a girls 12/14....

She is probably on the high end of what the costume would fit...where it was still large enough for her, the robe length and sleeve length on the tunic was starting to be short.



Lightsaber is not included!!!
