I mentioned a couple posts ago that Miller Brooks’ annual Cook For The Cure on Fri., Oct. 16 was a smashing success – and I promised you a recap when we got the final donation total.

We had more than 200 attendees, including employees, clients and vendors. The best news? Everyone rallied together to donate more than $10,000 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Indianapolis Affiliate! That’s a record-breaking total, brought in through both a silent auction and straightforward donations. Oh, and we had some wonderful employee-generated food-on-a-stick recipes.

A big round of applause and thanks goes out to everyone who joined us!

Our eighth annual event, a concept developed by KitchenAid, is one of Central Indiana’s largest third-party fundraisers for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Indianapolis Affiliate. The event is an agency tradition, and over the past eight years, we’ve donated more than $65,000 to Susan G. Komen. We also find that it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to build relationships with clients, vendors – and each other – while we fight breast cancer together.

According to the Susan G. Komen, Indianapolis Affiliate, 75 percent of donations from the event stay in central Indiana, with the additional 25 percent supporting national Komen-funded research. Currently, seven Komen-funded research projects are taking place in Indiana.

We can’t say “thank you” enough. Let’s do it again next year!
