Save the Boobies For a Chance To Win Prizes…
In late 2006, Shawn Collins and I made a pledge to raise money in innovative ways for various charities that assist children; help out the families of stateside and deployed servicemen and women; and fund breast cancer research – a cause that is close to my heart.
We’ve launched cause-related sites such as ShiptoTroops.com and AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com; we’ve worn “unusual” sponsored logo-wear, held goofy contests; sold hugs; walked 120 miles; and together with Affiliate Summit attendees, we’ve raised over $127,000, since January, 2007.
All proceeds have gone directly to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters, March of Dimes, Susan G. Komen Foundation, Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation, and Operation Homefront.
At the upcoming Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas this January, we’ll be holding another one of our entertaining fundraisers. All money raised from these events will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
So far, we’ve collected $7,500 for our Staff T-shirt Sponsorship which my friends at Buy.at/Platform A so graciously picked up. I am honored to sport their logo on my shirt during the conference.
We will also be holding the first-ever Affiliate Triathlon, which will be held on Tuesday, January 13th at the Rio Hotel.
It is open to all athletes. (The term “athlete applies to anyone attending Affiliate Summit 2009 West).
It is a 3-event contest of skill, determination and dexterity… and destined to be filled with laughs.
The winning athlete (highest cumulative score across the three competitions) will be awarded their choice of:
*Either prize can be sold or transferred to another person and Affiliate Summit 2009 East, takes place in NYC on August 9-11, 2009.
The entry fee for the Affiliate Triathlon is $100, which is donated directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
If you're attending Affiliate Summit and you got the “skills” to compete, I urge you to register to participate in this fun event.

Thanks so much for the kind words Missy! All of us at buy.at are thrilled to have your support!

good luck on the wacky olympics.
@Laurie — I did the 3-day in Minnesota last year and in Seattle this year. Events in my life have turned me into a true “Bra” and I will continue to raise funds to help stamp out this disease — hopefully before the time that my step-daughter grows boobies 😉
What a wonderful thing you are doing! I just completed the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Dallas, as the cause is especially close to my family’s heart too. I am unable to go to Vegas in January due to other obligations, but I can’t wait to read all about your event. Good Luck!
I hope there is a ‘viewing’ area – this sounds hilarious!!! Great fundraising idea 🙂

Best of luck at the event. The triathlon looks like it will be a blast! I think that your commitment to raising money for these causes is AWESOME!
Breast cancer… close to your heart… I sure hope that was a pun. Also, I applaud your efforts to save and preserve the ta tas. It is definitely a cause worth supporting (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*).
