Record-breaking Fundraiser

Team Spike Cancer Survivors Tell Their Stories

Donors, Sponsors and Friends Help Raise $10,250

This year’s annual fundraiser event put on by Team Spike in support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation netted a record $10,250 – pushing the total amount raised to over $35,000 (and counting!) for the San Jose Challenge to date.  This year is in special honor of the memory of Janna Middleton who lost her battle with brain cancer in June.

Sixty-eight guests enjoyed cocktails and Polynesian appetizers at Trader Vic's in Palo Alto while perusing the 45 silent auction items or buying raffle tickets to stuff the bowl for their chosen items.  There were several bidding wars (wine was hot as usual, as was the Warbird flight and the SF Giants Luxury Suite) but hottest bidding war was for the framed photographic art of the Golden Gate bridge generously donated by Jennifer McDonald (www.urbanobscura.com).
