Coupon Code: PINKPURSE“Lynne Browne and I met at work in February 2005. Just a year later, which was 14 years ago, I witnessed her fierce determination in the fight of her life against breast cancer. Since then, Lynne’s been raising awareness and funds through her Pink Purse Project to benefit the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Team Violette. I’m thrilled to be able to support Lynne and her SUNY Poly Team Violette through ‘Creative Activities for a Cause‘ for 2020.”

CAUSE: The Uptown Theatre for Creative Arts (UTCA)
Coupon Code: UTCAUTCA was formed in 2017 to provide diverse programming that inspires, educates, engages and entertains. Through these activities, and the restoration of the Uptown Theatre, UTCA is helping revitalize Utica’s Uptown neighborhood so it reaches its potential as a cultural, social and economic asset to the region. “Simultaneously taking Improv 1 at UTCA and its inaugural Standup class was an amazing experience. I incorporated improv techniques into my marriage-conference presentations and relationship-building workshops that I teach. The ‘5 Weeks of Dates Fun-Raiser‘ was created, in part, thanks to what I learned at UTCA. And I’m thrilled to be able to give back in 2020, since the pandemic has severely limited the number of UTCA revenue-generating programs this year.”

CAUSE: Retrouvaille of Rochester
Coupon Code: ROCHRV“Retrouvaille of Rochester came into my life in March 2016. My husband and I had just completed the first phase of the Retrouvaille marriage-help program, which was the immersive weekend, and were at our first set of post-weekend sessions at The Good News Center. The local Syracuse-Utica community of Retrouvaille was short on volunteers, so the Rochester community helped, sending presenters to Utica, enabling us and the other couples to complete the program closer to home. Since then, my husband and I have volunteered with both the Utica and Rochester programs, as well as at the regional and international level.”
