i need help

I don't believe I've mentioned yet that as of today, there are five walkers registered on our More the Merrier Walkers for Knockers team. As it turns out, all of those walkers are the mothers of triplets.

Consider that for a moment.

Five women - all of whom have young triplets - have committed time out of their busy lives to train for and then walk 20 miles a day, for three consecutive days, sleep in a tent each night, AND raise $2,300.00 a piece for breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention.

Now as impressive as that is - I believe it is even more impressive that five husbands have agreed to stay home with young triplets while their wives are out walking sixty miles over the course of a weekend. Ah yes. This will be like the spa weekend getaway we've always dreamed of. Except there won't be a spa. And we'll be sleeping on the ground. With blisters on our feet and cramping leg muscles.

But we'll be happy.

So happy.

Today, while I was out walking six miles in preparation for this big event, I started to brainstorm various fundraising ideas. In addition to reaching out to my friends - family - neighbors and coworkers (which I haven't done yet), I plan to knit scarves and host a few giveaways on my blog (which I also haven't done yet). (Life's been a bit crazy, shall we say?)

My walking teammate and fellow triplet mom, Debbie, came up with the brilliant idea of a lemonade stand that we would set up at busy locations around San Diego. What would make our lemonade stand different than others, is that it would be run - in large part - by triplets.

(Or at a minimum, they would stand around looking adorable.)

Doesn't that sound like an awesome fundraising gold mine idea?!

I'm thinking that in addition to all of this, I would like to have various gifts that I will giveaway for certain donation amounts. It would be kind of like a PBS membership drive...

For a $25.00 donation, you will receive a license plate frame.

For a $50.00 donation, you will receive a duffle bag with Sesame Street embroidery.

For a $100.00 donation, you will receive studio footage from "The Best of Click & Clack."

Of course none of those gifts are real. I'm just using them for the purposes of illustration. Right?

Anyway. I thought that a great gift idea, and/or sale item, would be silicone bracelets. But as I went on line to research silicone bracelets, I was PARALYZED by how many color options there are. And since I'm planning to order about 1,000 of these things - I really want to get a color that people will like. And not just any people ... but men AND women.

Tonight, because I couldn't decide on which color I liked, and then determined that Charlie's wrists are a lot larger than mine, and I'd need to order two sizes, and wow - the kids would love these, too - and maybe other children might like them, I ordered several different colors in several different sizes. And then, as I was reviewing my order of 1000 bracelets, I panicked when I thought about trying to keep all of this "inventory" organized.

Take a look at my order:

50		Medium BRIGHT RED
50		Large BRIGHT RED
100		Child PINK
200		Medium PINK
50		Medium ORANGE
50		Large ORANGE
50		Medium AQUA
50		Large AQUA
100		Child ROYAL BLUE
50		Medium ROYAL BLUE
50		Large ROYAL BLUE
50		Medium GREEN
50		Large GREEN
100		Medium SMOKED ORCHID

Before I placed the final order on the bracelets, I decided that I want to keep this simple. I want one color. In various sizes. I love pink because it's not only pretty, but it's the color scheme of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. But then the question is, hot pink or light pink? And do I really think I can sell 1,000 PINK bracelets?

Yellow reminds me of LiveStrong, so that's out.

Smoked Orchid is nice, but perhaps too light?

What about green?

Or, maybe orange?

Charlie loves blue.

Please - I beg of you - give me some feedback.

If you were to order 1,000 of these bracelets, what color would you pick??
