July 2014 3-Day Meet-up Round-up

We hope you all are having a wonderful summer, and we’re happy that so many of you have shared some summertime moments with your Susan G. Komen 3-Day® family! Here are recaps of some of the Komen 3-Day events where we saw you in July!

Michigan

Since the Michigan 3-Day® is just a few weeks away, packing was high on everyone’s minds in July. Michigan participants gathered for packing workshops in Plymouth and Holland. The latter workshop also included a training walk hosted by Michigan 3-Day team the Coconutter Strutters.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up michigan packingsusan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up michigan packing workshop training walk

Seattle

Coach Aubrey met some new and veteran 3-Day walkers at a fundraising workshop held at Elliott Bay Brewery on July 19. They shared their creative fundraising ideas, went over how to use the Participant Center to personalize their fundraising pages, and discussed how to send emails to potential donors.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up seattle meet up july

Philadelphia

Philly 3-Day crew members were busy with meetings and get-togethers in July. The crew captains gathered for an info meeting, complete with a fun selfie.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up july meet-up philadelphia

Over 40 crew members also got together for “All Crew Day,” a fundraiser planned by Philadelphia’s senior crew captains. Crew veterans and newbies sported their favorite pink gear and gathered to learn about the 3-Day, meet their crew teammates and get pumped for the event while raising money for the Philadelphia 3-Day Crew.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up philadelphia meet-up crew fundraiser

Atlanta

The Atlanta 3-Day had its Training Kick-Off Event at the Buckhead New Balance store. It was a great event with about 30 of Atlanta’s most energetic 3-Day walkers. They were led by training walk leaders Renee M. and Shawna L. There was lots of shopping done, and lots of great connections made!susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up july atlanta meet-up july training

Dallas/Fort Worth

The 3-Day hosted a special event for bloggers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in July. These well-known internet personalities enjoyed a yummy brunch while learning all about the 3-Day. Many of them will be part of the Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day in November, where they’ll be volunteering or walking, and all of them will be talking about their 3-Day experiences on their blogs. susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up dallas fort worth blogger event julyWalkers and crew members gathered on a beautiful morning in Southlake to celebrate the Training Kick-Off Event.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up dallas fort worth southlake training eventsusan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up dallas fort worth training walk southlake crew

San Diego

Walkers also gathered for the Training Kick-Off Event in San Diego last month. Everyone enjoyed some time with a New Balance rep, then a nice group stretch followed by a 3- or 7-mile training walk. There was even a pit stop along the way, manned by some San Diego crew captains.susan g. komen 3-Day breast cancer walk july meet-up round-up july san diego training walk
