JohnMitchell 14 #1 August 27, 2012 Hi Everyone, The Leap for Lupus Boogie was amazing this year. Over 50 people competed under clear blue skies for great prizes in the 4 way scrambles competition. Many more people made countless fun jumps, tandems and AFF jumps through out the day. Saturday night we tapped the kegs and feasted on salmon and all the trimmings as the last sunset loads landed. Next we pulled the winning raffle tickets and then danced 'til midnight to the rock 'n roll music of RetroActive. A good time was had by all. To all the winners, Congratulations. To all whom Lady Luck did not smile upon this year, thank you so much for your contribution. It's a fantastic cause you're supporting and every penny of your raffle tickets will go straight to Lupus medical research.

vskydiver 0 #12 August 28, 2012 The Leap for Lupus event this year was a ton of fun. Great weather, great food and great friends both there and not there, who supported us with this. Thanks to everyone that bought raffle tickets and made donations. The raffle ticket buttons don't work anymore, the raffle is over. But we still have some shirts on sale and you can still make donations! https://www.wepay.com/stores/lfl-2012-t-shirt https://www.wepay.com/donations/46240 You can also raise money for the LFL to earn free tandems. You can do it and give it to someone that wants to do a tandem. Spread the word to those that say they can't afford to do a tandem but have always wanted to. Now they can do it for free for a bit of easy fund raising for a good cause. Thanks again for everyone's support! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
