2nd Annual Date Auction

October 26th marked the date of the 2nd Annual State College Young Professionals' Date Auction: Meet the Challenge. Just like last year, the Date Auction raised money for The Second Mile (specifically the scholarship program for their Challenge Camp).

Again, 20 eligible bachelors and bachelorettes from the State College area were up on the auction block - myself included. Local businesses donated various gift certificates for the dates -- bowling, theater tickets, dinners, a wine tasting -- while others donated food for everyone in attendance to nibble on. And new to this year, we even added a raffle drawing, selling tickets for a chance to win prizes also donated by area businesses (of course there was something from me!).

This year's event was such a success! Just so you get the idea, last year we raised about $4600 (pretty awesome for a group that had been in existence about 5 months).

This year? What did we raise? We raised $7100!!!! How awesome! We totally destroyed last year!!! I totally "bought" 2 people. Hey, all in the name of charity. Tee hee!

I'm amazed that I was "bought" for $1,000 (the highest bid for the night). I'm lucky to have some really awesome people in my life (the photo is me with my "owners")! That $1,000 will send 2 kids to camp, so the money we raised that night will send 14 kids to camp!!! Go us!!

We're always willing to accept donations at our various outreach events. The next big event I'm participating in is the "Polar Bear Plunge" to raise money for the YMCA of Centre County! Yep, AGAIN!! If you're a State College young professional and you're interested in the Plunge -- either plunging or spotting -- let us know! We could use more Plungers!

MEXICO!!!

In September, I was fortunate enough to enjoy a weeklong vacation in Cancun, Mexico. And all on "For Your Pleasure's" dime! This was the FREE TRIP that I earned with the company and it was soooo awesome! What made it more amazing was that we were lucky enough that it was all-inclusive! Ohhhh yeah... the food was on my mind.

I spent the week lazing by the pool with a trip to Chichen Itza, a visit to Selvatica for some ziplining, a visit to a local market for real carnitas and orchata, and a trip to XCaret. And, many late-night trips to the 24-hour spot that had gelato... yummm...

Cancun is so beautiful -- with its soft, soft sand... amazingly blue waters (the colors seemed so unreal), beautiful people...

We stayed at the Cancun Caribe Park Royal Grand (yeah, try memorizing THAT name. it took me the entire week) where the staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food there was so yummy. I may not have had any alcohol, but I certainly ate my fair share!

What a much-needed vacation!
