Well we made it - November 15, 2005 and our 2006 program
is up and running on our website. We want to thank
Katherine Calder-Becker, who worked on an unreasonable timeline
to make it a reality. We hope you like it and are
as excited as we are about the 2006 season.
Over the next few weeks, we expect there will be a few
kinks to work out, so we ask that you let us know if something
isn't working properly on our site, or if you are having
difficulties getting information or entering an event.
Go take a look at what we have planned
and remember there are big savings on entry fees if you
enter before December 31, 2005.
Cheers!
Terry and Christine,
and the
Somersault Crew |

Greetings!
Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs would like
to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to each of you
for making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer,
right here in our community!
Your participation in Somersault Promotions Events throughout
the 2005 season has resulted in more than $7,000 in contributions
supporting Candlelighters' CyberKids Program. This truly
innovative program places laptop computers with children
and youth receiving cancer treatment giving them the tools
to complete school projects at their own pace and stay in
touch with friends and teachers in their learning community.
You have been part of a community partnership between Somersault
Promotions, Rogers Television and Candlelighters that will
enable an additional 4 young cancer patients to benefit
from having a laptop for the duration of their cancer treatment.
" Having my own laptop was the one good thing about
having cancer. I passed history this year, which was a miracle,
but having the laptop let me surf the net for all kinds
of neat information for my project, which I got an "A"
on." ~ Eric, 16 years old
" Although I use my computer for school stuff, the
thing I like best is being able to chat on MSN with all
my friends, who I never get to see anymore because I have
to be in the hospital most of the time" ~ Melissa,
12 years old.
Once again, a heartfelt thank you for making a difference
in the lives of kids with cancer.
Thanks for Keeping Our Kids Smiling!
Kind Regards,
Jocelyn
