The Tori de Tori was started in 2002 year because we had some free time on our hands that Spring. The concept is to participate in as many Great Strides or other CF fundraisers without vaporizing our checking account and overburdening donors. The Tour gives some structure to our social calendar as well, such as it is. It also gives you, the viewing audience, a peek at the great fundraisers the Washington CFF chapter produces every year. This year we squeezed in nine events between February 11th and June 10th, plus two more in September, raising over $7,300 along the way.
The goal of the Tour is to encourage you to participate in one or more of these functions. We don't actively seek donations outside of the Seattle Great Strides walk, but if you're looking to have a little fun, why not have your money go to a great cause at the same time?

There are plenty of CF fundraisers throughout the year to keep everybody busy. We try to attend as many as we reasonably can, but there are always some we can't get to.
