Breast Cancer Benefit

HELP SAVE SECOND BASE. HELP STRIKE OUT THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER!



The Delta Phi Omega sorority at Gustavus Adolphus College is preparing to hold its 10th annual Breast Cancer Benefit Lunch to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The benefit will take place at 11 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 2 in the St. Peter and Heritage Banquet Rooms in the C. Charles Jackson Campus Center.

The benefit lunch will conclude a month’s worth of events organized by the sorority during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All proceeds from the events will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Last year the sorority raised more than $5,700 for the foundation.

“The Deltas have supported the efforts of this foundation and its work through numerous fundraising campaigns for 10 years,” said Jamie Dufek, Gustavus junior and co-chair of the benefit lunch. “We are a sorority that prides itself on giving back to the community in many forms and the fight against breast cancer is one of our greatest efforts.”

The benefit lunch will include a silent auction with approximately 50 to 100 items for attendees to bid on. Anyone interested in donating an item for the silent auction should contact Dufek at jdufek@gustavus.edu. The event is open to the public and tickets are available at a cost of $15. To reserve tickets contact Emily Degnan at edegnan@gustavus.edu.

Besides the benefit lunch the sorority has several other fundraisers throughout the month of October. They are collecting Yoplait yogurt lids in the Evelyn Young Dining Room, selling T-shirts for $10 throughout the month in the Campus Center, and organizing an Oct. 24 fundraising night in “The Dive.” The sorority has also secured a $1,000 donation from Wal-Mart to add to this year’s fundraising effort.

If you are wondering what's on my mind today...

yup...Can't stop seeing his face and hearing his voice.

Our Story

One afternoon on Sunday, April 14th, 2007 a handsome boy stopped down at the Holiday Gas station in St. Peter, Mn. He had been noticing this girl who had worked there but never had the ambition to ask her out, until this day.

It was when he had just checked out at the register and walked out the door when he noticed that she was right behind him. He then held the door for her and gave her a blank stare and said,” Would you want to go out sometime? “ she replied with, “Do you know how old I am?” The girl thought that he might think she was older. The boy replied, “20 or 21?” The girl smiled and informed the boy that she was 18 and was still in high school. The boy was a bit thrown off and really didn’t know what to say. The girl didn’t want to turn him down so she said that she would think about it. Before the boy left the gas station he said , “Well let me know if you change your mind.”

The girl was so thrown off by the offer but yet was so crushing over this boy. She later realized that she wanted to go on a date with this boy but didn’t have a number to call…then she realized that this boys little brother worked at the local grocery store and she could get the number from him.

She had texted the boy one night and didn’t get a reply back, she was close to giving up until she got the urge to just call him…

after having a nice long talk with him they set up their first date.
The boy picked up the girl from her house on April 18th, 2007 and he took her out to dinner.

This is how it all started…

...he has me...he stole my heart...

For some reason this picture sums up why this blonde haired, blue eyed man stole my heart 16 months ago... Bradley is a one of a kind guy, the guy who...

-sets his alarm to 5:23am instead of 5:30am(which drives me up the wall)

-makes his sandwiches with 3 times more cheese than meat and gobs on the mayo(seriously to the point you could almost drink it)

-take's an hour long shower, twice a day

-that can sweat up a storm at work, and loves every minute of it

-thinks that every meal should have cheese all over it

-will not throw away a pair of jeans no matter how many holes he has in them, or no matter how many new pairs he gets

-will only wear red wing socks, Carhart double knee jeans, and a dirty greese shirt

-is in love with 80's rock music, and seriously jams out to it when one of his favorite songs comes on

-his favorite response to anything anyone says is...yup, probably.

-his favorite color is green, but insists that everything he gets is black

-His favorite number is 71. (the year of his first truck)

-the guy that hates plans, and lives day by day

Oh and my favorite... Bradley is the guy that will not allow the time to show in the truck...he will make it so the station shows rather than the time, and freaks out if you check to see what time it is.

Once again the picture above captures all of him for me, the smile...man...you can't help but smile when you see that.

He brings out the best, the worst and everything in between out of me. He has taught me so much, like patience, and to live life for what its worth, day by day.

...he wanted me...he got me..he has me...he stole my heart

Emit Allan
