Diosa De Cancion Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Ahoy All! For those on the Tavern as well as here, forgive the cross post... but I know some folks are not on both boards. While everyone thinks we pirates are all about taking stuff, every now and then some of give a little back. Our crewe has started a relay for life team to benefit the American Cancer Society. We want to fill their treasure chest with gold to find a cure for this damned disease.... My sister had a hell of a struggle with breast cancer a few years back and thankfully is on the mend after a lot of chemo and surgery. Last year we lost a member of our Pyrate family to cancer and another of our family is battling with it right now. We have started our fundraising and are now booking gigs that will go all to charity, as well as coming up with all sorts of other things, but not all of you are down in the SE..... So, here's the deal. I know we pyrates aren't rich, but every few dollars count. If everyone on here were to just drop 5 bucks in the proverbial pot that would be an overflowing treasure chest!!! If you have more great! The links below are to my donation site through the American Cancer society as well as our crew site. By the way... if you do happen to see us out and about, hail one of our wenches. We all are trying to fill our 'treasure chests' with cash for the cure!! Thanks!

Hawk the QM Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Wasn't much but I'm hoping many other pirate's "not much" adds up. Bump and a YAAAAAAAAAAR!

Merrydeath Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Great pic!! I hope you do well on it.. they need all the funding they can get. there was also a Mugs for Jugs at the MNRF. They raised money for Breast Cancer also.. I have my Pirates Think Pink on myspace, and it was mentioned on Talk Like a Pirate day site. http://www.myspace.com/piratesthinkpink there is also Save the Boobies fund also. every bit helps; 1 in 7 women are getting some form of breast cancer now. They aren't sure if its because more women are getting breast cancer or its being detected earlier. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.
