Welcome to Cowgirls & Cocktails!
There is nothing like a breast cancer diagnosis and a strong dose of chemotherapy to make you feel like your world is spinning out of control. As a Type - A, "fingers on the pulse of the community" type of gal, I was not ready to give in to uncertainty, weakness and life altering change. So, on a spring day in 2008 when I could barely get off the couch and my brain was at about 50% of normal function, I reached out to visiting friends, Gina Kaiser and Michelle Ebert, asking how I could concentrate on something bigger than me. Ideas flew and the Cowgirls & Cocktails fundraiser was born, with the hope of helping women with breast cancer in El Paso County.
Fast forward two short years. Gina, Michelle and I pulled together great volunteers, hundreds of friends, hot bartenders, Jim Beam, Coors, Leaping Horse Vineyards, restaurants, caterers, local vendors and the press. The outcome - Cowgirls & Cocktails has raised over $25,000.00. Through different organizations, we have been able to reach women on a grassroots level, assisting with everything from taxi vouchers, to providing much needed goody boxes filled with products to aid in the surgical healing process, both mentally and physically. We are touching those in need on a very basic level.
Cowgirls & Cocktails speaks to my heart and lives up to our vision. Women joining together to support one another is a powerful statement, especially when they all wear pink, and they all like to have fun! This event makes each of us realize how lucky we are to have each other and is a celebration of life at its best.
Please join us on June 3rd. We have only just begun to make our mark!
Thank you!
