aka EMVOCS - aka Luis!
Yes, the Dr. had the amazing, thoughtful, and unexpected idea to be my corporate sponsor for a day - my birthday - last Wednesday! Luis promised to match any and all donations to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation that came in before midnight on the 23rd up to $1000. Well, ya'll took advantage, and with your donations and Luis's big ole matching donation we raised $1400 in one day!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! It was an amazing week of birthday fun and surprises for both me and my dad! And that Luis...he's a keeper...
But wait! There's more! B.A.C.Zone has also become EMVOCS! They made an extremely generous donation yesterday in honor of my father! B.A.C.Zone is a company that Luis and his colleague, Dr. Karen Forbes started in 2000 to help individuals reduce the risks associated with alcohol consumption. B.A.C = blood alcohol concentration, and the company produces B.A.C. Cards that provide personalized, easy-to-use information about blood alcohol concentration and its effects. See?
Their tag line is "Stay in Your Green Zone!" Your Green Zone is when your BAC is below 0.06 and you're feeling the positive effects of alcohol - mild relaxation, euphoria, decreased inhibitions, etc., without the depressive effects -fatigue, slowing down and lack of coordination. Your Green Zone depends on number of drinks over number of hours and your weight and gender. BAC Cards help you have fun when you drink - isn't that the point anyway?!But, as you drink more, and your BAC gets higher, you enter the blue, then the red zones. Basically, you become a real party-pooper. And you're more likely to do something not-smart. BAC cards help you avoid this.
"Reduce your risk. Use the card." Get it here! Scroll down for a single card unless you really want a box of 400.
A huge THANK YOU to BACZone for the service you provide and for your generosity in supporting my fundraising efforts!
P.S. It's NEVER safe to drink and drive, so don't even think about it!
