Kitties for a Cause



Source

October is breast cancer awareness month, and here at Kitty Kat that holds a special place in our hearts. We have all been affected by breast cancer some how in our lives, and we need to be there to support each other and our loved ones as we  battle through this terrible disease and strive forward towards finding a cure. 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime and early detection can help save your life. Click here to go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. where you can find out more about early warning signs and how to do your monthly self-exam.

On Saturday, October 29, 2016 we will be hosting a fundraiser to support The National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. The event will be from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Kitty Kat. Local food trucks include: The Munchie Machine, Juana Burrito, Jack's Fork in the Road and Burger She Wrote. Our favorite band Kitty-A-Go-Go will also be here, helping us to raise some funds. There will also be a great silent auction set up with prizes big and small to win. The Kitty Ranch will be open to shop for all your kitty needs and of course the ranch will be open to meet all our lovely kitties. The day of the fundraiser 25% of  food truck sales, Kitty Kat sales, and all  the money from the silent action, will go to The National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. 

On a personal note, I understand how hard it is to watch a loved one battle this horrible disease. There is nothing worse than that feeling of uselessness you get when there isn't anyway to help. On Saturday we will be setting up a strength wall, I didn't want it to be a memorial or remembrance wall, because we need to be celebrating our loved ones that took on this battle, win or lose. Please feel free to bring pictures, mementos, cards or anything else, to show the strength of your loved one. I hope to see everyone next Saturday, now, go do your monthly self-exam!
