anamanxs Posted April 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I was reading the Fun Times/Capers of the SPIRIT and it talked about a charity event but not a lot of info on it. Are they no longer doing the "Walk for a Cure" this year? Any info would be appreciated, sailing on the Spirit in May. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted April 16, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have been wondering how they would replace walk for the cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamanxs Posted April 16, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have been wondering how they would replace walk for the cure. "Groove for St Jude" all it says is it is a dance event. No real details, think I rather walk. Healthy for all, good group event or family time and for a Great cause. Capers/Fun Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted April 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Carnival partnered with the Susan G. Komen foundation for three years to raise millions of dollar for breast cancer research. That contract has expired and the new contract partners Carnival with the St. Jude's Childrens Hospital in Memphis. Here's a press release: http://carnivalpressroom.wordpress.com/2010/03/25/carnival-cruise-lines-launches-fleetwide-fundraising-initiative-benefiting-st-jude-children%E2%80%99s-research-hospital%C2%AE/ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted April 16, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2010 That is a nice activity. DW has enough walk for the cure shirts and both charities are great causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillian marie Posted April 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Both are great charities but I liked walk for the cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyshoreBruce Posted April 16, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I agree while both are good charities , i have done the Walk For A Cure and loved doing it but the dance thing i won't do. Being outside walking around the top of the ship was healthy and fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamanxs Posted April 16, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I agree with the others. Thanks for the info and I do support St. Jude, I have a friend's child who they helped and I have no problem with the charity changing but I won't do the dance thing, I would do the walk. It's not the T-shirt or freebe, already have the tons of those it was the family, helping other's idea. Great to involves groups in a fun time for all, and a little healthy event too. I don't see the Groove being as family aimed. I think they need to relook at the activity they way do. I know St Jude does other activities then the dance idea. We just had one at my work (childcare center) and the children raised over $1000 for the children of St. Jude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Walk was amazingly popular and I'd be very surprised if it wasn't back in a slightly different form... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
