Well all, I promise d more frequent blogging and have thus far failed. Further, I am WAY overdue in posting about the subject event. My sister in law, Angie Jackson (or as she says, call her Ms. Jackson if your nasty!) has done an AWESOME job of putting together the second annual BTHO Melanoma event.

In case you are not an Aggie, BTHO is the acronym for the Aggie battle cry of “Beat the Hell Outta (insert opponents name here). So that is just what we are going to attempt to do. Last year we raised just over $12,000 dollars that we donated to the Mary Crowley Research Center in Dallas. We had a silent auction with over 40 donated items, we raffled off a shot gun, had bar-b-q and two live bands and free skin cancer screens by Dr. Garmin (Dermatologist(. It was a great event and one that Julie was very proud to be a part of. This year we carry it on in her honor and are determined to do it better.

Please visit the link below and plan on joining us as Landolt park in Clear Lake on Sept 14. This year the raffle prize is a Nintendo Wii donated by Diamondback Works (Julie’s Uncle’s company…is that proper grammar ). Click this link for all the details and check in often for more details. BTW… winner need not be present to win the raffle, although we want as many people present as possible. And again we are having skin cancer screening by Dr. Garmin as well as one other dermatologist.

Below are pictures from last year’s event.

Thanks Ang for putting this together again. If you can’t make it but you want raffle tickets, post a comment and we will get in touch with you via your email. Hope to see all of you on the Sept 14 for cancer prevention, cancer fundraising, music, food and raffle/auction items.

Until next time…
