What a wonderful time we had yesterday at the Dessert Auction at Hanes Mall! Thanks to our auctioneer Fred Mock for his entertaining and inspiring us. Thanks to the volunteers from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, Allegacy Federal Credit Union, and Komen NC Triad for thier hard work preparing and running the event. Thanks to our supporters who came out to bid, watch, and support the Komen NC Triad Race for the Cure. Thanks to the local bakeries, restaurants, businesses, celebrities and supporters who donated the fabulous cakes and other goodies auctioned off. Thanks to Fox8, WXII, WSJS, the Winston-Salem Journal, and our other media partners who helped get the word out. Thanks to Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines for joining us to make our special Race announcement, and for baking a cake for auction. And thanks to Flossie Johnson for helping him!
We raised more than $5,000 yesterday morning! What a great way to kick-off our Race Activities.

Oh behalf of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and all of our volunteers, it was our pleasure to organize the Dessert Auction for Komen NC Triad. Everyone had a great time and I hope we can do it again next year. It would not have been possible without all the donations from area restaurants, bakeries and friends for the cure. Please visit their places of business and let them know how much we appreciate them.
