Lynette LaPlante Joins the Team

Lynette LaPlanteSome of you may remember my friend Lynette. Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back walked in her honor last year during the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-day.

Lynette was 32 at the time — a healthy mother of 3 children. On a routine visit to her doctor, a lump was discovered and she was subsequently diagnosed with bi-lateral breast cancer.

Well, a year has passed and Lynette has survived. There’s been lots of ups and downs, but through everything, she has managed to stay strong and be one of the most positive people that I know.

I am so thrilled that she has decided to walk with the team this year during the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

If you’d like to make a donation in her name, please visit her fundraising page.

AMGB Printed Collateral

I’ve received a few requests for a marketing piece that can be printed and given to the folks that make decisions on causes to sponsor, or to simply hang up in break rooms.

I’m not the best designer, but here it is…

Hope it does the trick!
