Good News and more good news!

Thanks to all who bought a Kayla Reese/Race 2 Chi-town t-shirt. This was our first fundraiser and it went really well. Our goal was to sell 50 shirts and we ended up selling 53! Not too bad!

Also, we are officially a foundation. Yep, you heard right, we are now 'The Kayla Reese Foundation.' How awesome is that??? But, now for the hard (and expensive) part. We want The Kayla Reese Foundation to be a 501(c)3 or non-profit organization. The biggest thing about becoming a non-profit orgnaization is the fact that when people or businesses donate to us, they can write it off on their taxes....a big plus! To become a non-profit is going to take more time and of course, money. But, we're working on it and will keep you updated on our progress and future fundraisers!

Thanks again to all who ordered shirts this first go 'round. It has been such a good feeling when someone orders a shirt because you realize they have faith in what we're doing and I just can't put into words how grateful we all are. If you ordered, your shirt will be delivered or mailed to you this week (week of July 13).

Keep checking back for updates!
