Race for the Cure | Philanthropy

29 10 2010

Hey guys!

TYP Austin has signed up with Susan G. Komen to help raise money and increase breast cancer awareness.  With your help and support we can reach our team goal of $250.  If you would like to make a donation or you want to join our race team, please visit our race page.

A few breast cancer facts:

* 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer

* Men can get breast cancer too. 1 in every 100 cases of breast cancer will occur in a male

* A mammogram is the most reliable way to detect breast cancer early.

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, TYP Austin partnered with the Young Professionals Council of Susan G.

TYP Austin – Sept. Event | Networking

6 10 2010

We had a great turn out last week for Austin’s Texas Young Professionals September event at Zax Restaurant & Bar.  The weather was fantastic so the patio at Zax was perfect.  Plus Zax offers 20 beers on tap, great happy hour specials and delicious food.

This month we partnered with Ignite a Dream Foundation.  The Foundation’s goal is to give children the opportunity to learn sportsmanship and teamwork through great leadership.   They are hosting their 1st Annual Golf Classic today.  We, at TYP, wish them the best of luck.  If you want to learn more about Ignite a Dream, please visit their website.

 

Thank you to everyone that attended the event!  Special thanks to Ignite a Dream for sharing your foundation’s mission with us!   And a BIG thank you to Zax for having us; we had a great time!!

Our next event will be October 19th from 6-8pm at Parkside on East 6th St.  In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we will be partnering with the young professionals of Susan G. Komen.  We encourage everyone to wear PINK to the event to show support.  Also, don’t forget to mark your calendars for Susan G. Komen’s Race for the Cure on November 7th.
