The "Pie in the Face" Challenge

If you're randomly seeing this post, you are unofficially invited to take part in the "Pie in the Face" Challenge.  If you we sent a challenge with a link to this page, you are officially challenged and we’re hoping you graciously join the fundraiser!  It's intended to be a "fun" fundraiser in support of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life (RFL).  This challenge is the same kind of theme as the ice bucket challenge was a few years ago.  

I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer in February 2018.  After colon resection surgery that removed the entire right side of my colon followed by several rounds of chemotherapy I was declared cancer free in September 2018.  In December, it was discovered my cancer was in fact back and had spread to my liver, I was now at stage 4.  More chemo and liver surgery in April 2019.  I recently completed my 22nd round of chemo in October 2019 and my latest set of CT and MRI scans so improvement in some areas, but growth in others.  I've grown resistant to the current chemo cocktail and am now looking for other options to get my cancer under control.  More research and new discoveries are needed to help get it under control for me and for others.

I joined Relay for Life as a Team Captain in 2018 just two months before the Quabogg Valley event under the team name "Director Dan", which follows my name as a Scentsy Independent Consultant.  PLEASE, feel free to follow the links and JOIN my team!  I also joined the Event Leadership Team  because I wanted to help, find out more, and to share my journey.  We've raised about $11,000.00 in the past two years.  My goal this year is to far exceed that total.  The funds raised are used so much for all the great programs ACS has to help patients and caregivers 24x7 with whatever they are facing, we support places like Hope Lodge that serves as a place for patients to stay for free when they have to travel away from home for treatments, and for research.  They have been some great news in the field of cancer treatments this past year, but more is needed.  I need help finding the right solution to get my cancer under control.

Here's a video introduction for how the "Pie in the Face" Challenge came about and how it works.



The Donation page should look like this at secure.acsevents.org


What to do when you are challenged

  • You find 2 people willing to make a tax deductible donation to American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay For Life for Director Dan’s team for the right smack you with a “Pie in the Face”.  Note: If you have a couple of kids, grandkids, or others who you want to smack you with the "Pie in the Face" , feel free to make the donations yourself, have fun with it, the kids will probably enjoy it just as much, check out the video, my wife and kids loved it and they;re adult children!
  • Each person who agrees to make the donation, I recommend a minimum of $5.00, but more is totally acceptable.  Use only the link above to make the donation so it goes to the right place and is credited to this challenge correctly.
  • Take pictures and or a video when you get the "Pie in the Face" Post them to social media and link back to this page (you can use http://bit.ly/Relaypieintheface - the name IS case sensitive).  Use the hashtag #RelayPieintheFace
  • Most importantly, you then challenge 2 people to take the challenge themselves.  They don't have to be the same two people that smacked you with a "Pie in the Face".  You do need to follow up with them, if either backs out and does not complete the challenge within a week, please challenge someone else.

But I Don't Want a Pie in My Face!

Bummer, can't you play along and help us out with the cause?  Some may just not want to.  Our suggestion is that you buy your way out by making the donation yourself, pie or no pie, however, please try to find 2 others nevertheless.

If you are the one that challenged the person that doesn't want to participate, please try to find two others that will participate, that is how we can really help.

It’s each challenged person goal to find 2 people who will accept the challenge.  This can run through the end of the RFL season, ending about Sept 30, 2020.
