Great Steps Teams Are Stepping Forward!
Some of our Great Steps for NF teams have been busy raising money in honor
of their loved one for the NF cause.  In January the
Austinators (Naperville)
held a successful Trivia Night that was tons of fun and
Logan's Heroes
(Naperville) held a Tastefully Simple Party.

Jacob's Warriors (#11 Naperville) has already raised almost $700 in honor of
Jacob and is holding a
Buffalo Wild Wings fund-raiser as well as a raffle for
Black Hawks tickets.

4Kate (#3 Naperville) already raised $1,300 at their vendor night planned on
November 19. Way to go! Remember events not only raise funds for the NF
fight but they are also raising awareness and educating the public.
Join the
Beauty Mark Nation!
Make your mark and
help spread the word.
Just as those who know and love cancer patients will shave their own heads
in solidarity and support of their loved ones in treatment, those who know
and love NF patients will show their solidarity and support by donning beauty
marks—temporary tattoos, face paint, body paint, “war paint”

The
Beauty Mark Nation will be at NF walks, golf tournaments, bike rides and
even at fine dining events! They will command public attention, challenge
public perception and create a high degree of visibility for the NF cause. This
bold commitment will ultimately bring us closer to the cure for NF!
