The weather was absolutely perfect!

The breast cancer awareness ribbons we made earlier in the week (see photos here, here,
here, & here) were a hit!

The overall energy of downtown Toledo was amazing! Chrys Peterson, a local anchorwoman
and Race for the Cure enthusiast, got the event off to a great start!

Everyone was there to have a good time.

Local cheerleaders…

…and high school marching bands lined the course.

Toledo police officers joined in the fun as well, dancing to the beat of the music and placing
pink rabbit ears on their horses.

The Toledo Blade reported 18,000 people participated in the event and donations are
expected to be around $750,000, a record for the northwest Ohio area. Great job, Toledo!

Despite being a bit sore afterwards, it felt so good to support so many breast cancer survivors…

…and do our part in finding a cure.

With the excitement of this year’s race behind us, we can’t wait to sign up for next year’s
Race for the Cure!

Do you want to help support breast cancer research? Be sure to visit PrintMyRibbon.com. We have redesigned the site for the entire month of October to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the month of October, 5% of web sales will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. In return, customers will receive FREE SHIPPING on standard shipped orders. Thank you for supporting this very important cause with us.

This Sunday a few of us from the company are going to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure®. I’m sure some of you are familiar with this event because they are held in so many different cities throughout the United States, but for those of you who have never heard of it, Race for the Cure® is an annual 5k run/walk race where all of the proceeds go towards finding a cure for breast cancer.

To gear up for this Sunday’s race we’ve gathered donations, created our t-shirts and today we’re assembling pink “Support the Cure” awareness ribbons to pass out at the race Sunday morning. And don’t worry, I won’t forget to pack a camera. I can’t wait to take tons of pictures so that I can post them and show you early next week how exciting this experience was. The good news is that this event gets A LOT of attention. I’m expecting this to be a pretty amazing, emotional experience. I’ve been told by race organizers that participation has already increased from last year’s race. I can’t wait to hear final numbers Sunday night. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some stretches to do.

We’re going pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! In case you haven’t noticed, the PMTVoice is now the PinkMTVoice in support of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the month of October, our blog and our ribbon website –

In addition to transforming the sites, we’ll be offering contests and promotions throughout October. To kick off the month, a group of us are participating in the local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® this weekend. Check back often to see race pictures and to stay updated on Breast Cancer Awareness Month contests, promotions, and events.
