Saturday, October 20, 2012, was a record-breaking day for SAMC Foundation's Champions of Hope. The event, in its fifth year, is held in honor of survivors and fighters and in memory of Sandi McCool, the event's first chair who lost her battle with breast cancer last year. This year's event had more than 1,800 participants and raised more than $140,000 for the expansion of cancer services at Southeast Alabama Medical Center in Dothan.
Eagle Eye Outfitters was excited to participate, setting up a booth Friday and Saturday during the activities. Accessories Department Manager Jacob Walker and Head Buyer and Merchandiser Lynsey Bullock manned the booth on Friday night as participants and sponsors enjoyed a pasta dinner to "carb up" up for the race.
Saturday morning, Shoe Department Manager Nancy Turner and Assistant Store Manager Andy McDuffie represented Eagle Eye at our booth, displaying some of our pink ribbon products from vendors like The North Face and Columbia Sportswear.
Andy ran in the 5K, placing 4th in his age division! All race participants were encouraged to visit Eagle Eye Outfitters on Saturday and "show us their bibs" for a store discount. All in all, it was great day for a great cause. We are so glad that we could be a part of it!
We want to extend a big "thank you" to our vendor partner The North Face for allowing us to use their tent for the event!
