I'm an Ambassador!

First off, I want to start off this blog post by saying Happy Birthday to my dad, Jack Pitluk!

Yesterday, I found out that I was chosen to be a Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure Ambassador. I posted this on my Facebook as well, but I realized a lot of people may not know what this means exactly. Basically, I help promote the 3 Day walk in Chicago. Whether it be chalk writings on the sidewalk or notifying TV stations or newspapers. When it gets closer to the event, I'll have the girls go around with me and write on the sidewalk around the campus. They also said they would be sending me stickers to stick up places to let people know that it is going on.

They have an application you fill out online. There was a deadline in February I had missed, but it said to check back in May for other opportunities. I stalked the website a few times and on May 1st the application process opened up and I filled it out. There was questions about social media (if I used it) and if I had a blog. They asked about experience being interviewed or being in front of the camera. I addressed how I had experience being in front of the camera/interviewing as well as directing talent in front of cameras and knowing how to coach them. So you'll notice my bright shiny 'badge' icon to the right of the website.

Tonight the girls donated their lemonade money to my walk fund. They raised $16.41! They were counting it in their beds and they told Cory if any was missing he should look there for it. Cory posted it on his Facebook and some of his friends said they would match their donation.
