Dash 4 the Stache - Pittsburgh Fundraising Event, 11/17/12

DASH for the STACHE - Pittsburgh Fundraising Event

~RECAP~

What an AMAZING family we have!  It's incredible to see what can happen when a loving, compassionate community comes together to support people, ideas, and causes that they care about.  People can truly affect those around them through exercising positivity and hope!

I am so proud of my family, and namely my two younger cousins, Brittany and Natalie.  We suggested to them that a fundraising event in Pittsburgh, Uncle Dennis's home town, would be a wonderful way to reach out to those that really know and love him and his family.  After that, our cousins and their entire community took it upon themselves to host the most motivating and inspiring fundraising party, consisting of friends, neighbors, college roommates, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, and smiling strangers excited to support our cause.  

The night's activities included 50/50 raffles, auctions, t-shirt sales, fake mustaches, and the bar donating a portion of the evening's funds to the cause.  Laughter and hugs abounded.

Brittany and Natalie are two amazing women that I am so fortunate to call my family, and they and their community are full of so much love and positive energy that Uncle Dennis has the most gracious and inspiring support system imaginable.  Go Team Dash!!!

An 8-Mile Track List

We're getting closer and closer to the January event and the Baltimore half of Team Dash has been ramping up their long distance training runs!

This weekend Tony and Adj (yours truly) will be running along the NCR Trail north of the city for 8 MILES!

Yes, you read that right the first time.

People often ask what we do on these long runs, especially now that these outings can be well over an hour in length!

Mostly, Tony and I take in the scenery - autumn in the D/M/V (that's DC/Maryland/Virginia for the unfamiliar) is breathtaking in terms of foliage and occasional temperature drops.

But, really, there's only so much green Tony & Adj can take and conversation can be difficult to maintain when you're trying to catch your breath, so I'm a fan of playlists. Tony has a shuffle and I have a Droid, so it's easy enough to keep some tunes on hand as the miles pile on.

So here for you, loyal Dasher, are some of our recommendations for an 8-mile Track List:







(That last one is particularly good for HIIT intervals...)

Really, anything that has a good tempo is useful. If you're looking for something to distract you while you're hitting the pavement, we suggest plugging into some podcasts:




So lace up and plug in (not too loudly! You need to be aware of your surroundings, people.) and we'll see you on the asphalt!

Love,
Adj & Tony

Mustaches Unite!

Celebrate Mo-vember in STYLE!

November is known for many things: turkey dinners, autumn leaves, football...

and mustaches.

That's right! Since 2004 November has also served as the month-long cancer awareness project known as "Movember."

As the members of Team Dash are nothing if not fashionably conscious, we've decided to host a few Movember-themed fundraisers of our own. Check us out...!

If you're in the Pittsburgh area, we'll be guest bar tending at Cafe Supreme in Irwin, PA from 5pm - 9pm. Event details can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/420317511357278/

If you're in the DC area, we'll be hosting the Movember Indoor Triathlon at the H Street Country Club. Grab 2 buddies, set up a team, and come prepared to try for Movember gold!! More info at  https://www.facebook.com/events/331945930236091/

Finally, if you're in the Baltimore are, we'll be co-hosting a night of contests, drink specials and raffles at Bad Decisions in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore from 5pm on. Check out deets at https://www.facebook.com/events/364158007004469/

There's something for everyone so come on out, bring your friends, and show your love and support while enjoying some good times, good drinks and good prizes!

Be sure to come armed with your finest whiskers! For guidance on facial hair how-to, we offer advice from one of the best celebrity staches around: Mr. Nick Offerman

It's Mo-Vember in Baltimore!!

Time to kick cancer's butt and have fun while doing so! 

Team Dash for the 'Stache is teaming up with the good folks at Bad Decisions to bring you an evening of fun and facial hair! 

Come join us for drink specials, prizes, and of course the all-important mustache contest to crown the gent with the finest lip accessory in the city! (Ladies, take the men to task as part of the Miss-tache competition for best faux facial fur!)

So get growing! You've got until November 30th to sprout your whiskers to impress the judges!

Tell all your friends to head down to Bad Decisions in Fells Point after work, spend a few bucks, win a few prizes, and help Team Dash kick cancer's backside. See you there, and remember:

Mustaches Unite!!!
