Faye Chiou is the Leader of the Pack! - Easter Seals' Walk With Me fundraising team

Faye Chiou was elected Team Captain of Easter Seals' Walk With Me fundraising team, The Seals Pack!  She is leading the team, which is comprised of Easter Seals' employees and volunteers, towards attaining a fundraising goal of $8,000.  It looks like The Seals Pack will make it - with almost a month to go the team has raised just over $5,000. 

Faye, a South City resident, has already raised $1,475 of The Seals Pack total.  Dave Mungenast Honda and William Tao top her list of donors.  Peggy Fee, Director of Individual & Event Marketing at Easter Seals, commented, "it is not common that someone in the accounting team of a non-profit organization excels at fundraising, but Faye has demonstrated her talents with this event.   She has risen to the occasion to help raise funds for an organization that she not only works for, but believes in wholeheartedly!"

You can join Faye and her team at Walk With Me on Saturday, July 19 at the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park.  You can choose from a 1-mile Family Fun Walk or a 5K Run/Walk/Wheel. The warm-up begins at 7:00 AM and the first event starts at 7:30 AM.  

Mark Lamping, President of the St. Louis Cardinals and Fred Bird also invite you to support Easter Seals and participate in Walk With Me.  You can enter for as little as $15, but the $25 entry fee includes an official Walk With Me T-shirt.  Prize levels begin at $75 and include a DVD player, 4-Day Cruise and a trip to the Super Bowl!
