The Athleta shop night was a huge success!!! Bif Hillard, Rachel, and Annie, of Athleta, have been joining the Kaia girls for early morning workouts. We sweated together and smiled through all the challenges Angela Hypio threw our way. In the end, it brought so much more meaning to the event and made it so much more personal. I think it was so wonderful that the Athleta team stepped up and joined in! I feel like our circle of Kaia friendships just got bigger:)
On the night of the shopping event we brought in a few small bites and drinks, set up the Doctors Without Borders information table, and waited for the shoppers to come in. We didn't have to wait very long, at 5:30 on the dot the doors swung open and for the next 2 hours a steady stream of friends rolled in. We had several call in orders too. All in all, at the end of the 2 hours, we had a grand total sales of $4,579.00. Doctors Without Borders receives 10% of that total or $458!!!
The Boulder Athleta store also generously raffled off a pair of sport sun glasses and a $25 Athleta gift card - how nice was that?!?! Spencer Casey, my triathlon coach, stopped by and met some of the girls - they had lots of training questions for him. Between seeing so many friends come out for the event and having my coaches there and working with the Athleta girls, I felt such a sense of community on so many levels. It was such a richly rewarding experience, one of the highlights on my journey to the Ironman!
