Also, can we talk for second? In just the past 15 days alone you have helped me to raise $5455.60 for cancer research!!! I had to recheck the math a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things - that is an incredible number and my heart is bursting with thanks and love for each and every person who has supported me and this goal. THANK YOU!!! Apparently I am also trying to set a record for the most excessive use of exclamation points (!!!!) but I can't help it - I truly can't contain my excitement and gratitude! This means I am only $2469.74 away from reaching my goal of raising $13,100 before I cross the starting line on April 18th, and with two more rounds of March Madness opportunity drawings featuring the biggest and best prizes yet? Something tells me we're going to fly right past that goal!
The madness continues with Week 3 and your chance to win a gorgeous Coach handbag valued at $450! Read on for full details on this week's prize as well as our final/grand prize being offered next week, with full details/FAQ at the bottom of this post. And since 100% of each and every dollar from your gift directly supports cancer research, you are a winner just by entering!
Week 3 (March 14th - March 20th): Coach Handbag
Coach Mickie Handbag in Chalk (off-white) grain leather!
With a retail value of $450 this beauty is made of soft grain leather in Chalk, which is an all season appropriate off-white. Antique hardware completes the look, and a removable strap plus ample storage makes this the perfect bag for going from gym to office to cocktails in style!

Then you and your guest will proceed to the VIP entrance for the luxurious EMC Club which is situated one level up directly above home plate.

Open to the action but protected by an overhang with heaters in case of inclement weather, these are some of the best seats in Fenway! Full seat service for drinks and snacks, and dedicated EMC restrooms with no lines complete the luxurious amenities offered in the EMC Club. Trust me, once you sit here you will never want to sit anywhere else!

THE NITTY GRITTY (aka Frequently Asked Questions)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each week in March there is a different prize up for grabs. During each week, every $10 donation increment gets you one entry for that week's prize. So $10 = 1 entry, $20 = 1 entry, $30 = 3 entries and so on. At the end of the week, all entries are entered into a random drawing and a winner is chosen. It's that simple!
HOW DO I DONATE TO GET MY ENTRIES???
You can donate directly via my DFMC fundraising link (click here)
CAN I JUST MAKE ONE DONATION AND THEN SPLIT MY ENTRIES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS PRIZES?
You sure can! Just make one lump donation and then email me to let me know how you would like to allocate your entries. For example, you can donate $50 and then tell me you would like one entry for two entries for Week 3, and three entries for Week 4. Or you could donate $100 and ask for two entries to Week 2 and Week 3, and six entries for Week 4. However you want to split your $10 increments is fine by me, and with no limit on how many times you can enter you can give yourself unlimited chances to win while supporting a great cause!
CAN I ENTER THESE DRAWINGS AND STILL SPONSOR-A-MILE???
Absolutely! If you have been waiting to sponsor-a-mile with a gift of $126.20, now is the time do so because you will also gain entries to any of my March Madness opportunity drawings! And because I just love seeing ya'll claim those miles and give me a reason to make each one special, I will round your entries up to a lucky 13, giving you even more chances to win! Simply make your gift of $126.20 or more via my DFMC donation site and then email me to let me know (a) which mile you would like from the available miles, and (b) which week's drawings you would like your thirteen entries allocated to!

ARE YOU GOING TO OFFER SURPRISE SECOND CHANCE DRAWINGS BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR DONORS OH SO MUCH?
You bet I am! Starting with Week 2 I will be offering a SURPRISE second chance drawing to everyone entered for that week's prize(s)!!!
I HATE WINNING AWESOME PRIZES BUT STILL WANT TO DONATE - IS THAT OKAY?
Sure is, but I might still send you a cookie!
