Jingle Bell Run:

And speaking of Arthritis Foundation and fundraisers, I have created a Team, The Flames, for all my friends to register to Run, Walk and/or Donate for our 2010 Jingle Bell Run on Saturday, December 4. My goal WAS to reach $10,000 in donations, but our wonderful friends at UBS have stepped up to the plate and offered MATCHING dollars up to $10,000, so we now have raised the goal to $20,000 for the work of the Arthritis Foundation.

It's NOT too early to register so here is the link:

Here's Scott, Margrit, Debbie and JB getting ready for the Jingle Bell run for the Arthritis on Saturday, December 4.

Dear Friends and Family,

This year, I am tying jingle bells to my shoelaces and raising funds for the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis. Did you know that one in five Americans has arthritis? That's more than 46 million Americans including over 300,000 children - yes, kids get arthritis too.

Arthritis is much more than just aches and pains. For many, it significantly impacts their ability to complete simple tasks like dressing themselves or even walking.

Arthritis hurts. You can help. Please join me in the fight against arthritis by supporting me with a donation to the Arthritis Foundation.

It is easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer, you can also send me your tax-deductible contribution made out to the Arthritis Foundation. Any amount you can give will help!

Or, you can accept this simple challenge and join me at the starting line!

I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Brashares

Buick Heritage Alliance:

We just had our second collector car donated to the Alliance and this one came right from our home town in Columbus, Ohio. It is a 1994 Buick Century Wagon with 85,000 miles from Daniel & Ann McDowell. We are thrilled and thankful for this wonderful gift.
