We thought it would be a fun alternative event to trying  to shout over the music at some of the nightclubs. It was definitely well  received and we had a blast just hanging out and networking with Affiliates.  Last year, we decided to change things up a bit and make the event more purpose  driven. After all was said and done, we raised more than $2,500 for the National  Breast Cancer Foundation. This year, the event will benefit the Avon Foundation  through the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.Can you tell me more  about your Client BowlingShirt.com and their involvement? Breast cancer  awareness is a cause that is near and dear to the owners of BowlingShirt.com.  They have been very supportive over the years to multiple organizations that  strive to find a cure and every October, they donate 10% of the proceeds of all  pink items on the site to a breast cancer charity.How can someone join  their program and can you describe the benefits of it?You can join the  BowlingShirt.com affiliate program on the ShareASale network.We offer 10%  commissions with a sixty day cookie and a full datafeed. Our EPC in December was  $27.50 and our average order value through the affiliate program was more than  $65. We also offer a full datafeed through ShareASale and PopShops of more than  4,000 products from classic retro bowling shirts, to party supplies to retro  decorations and costumes.What is your  motivation for helping to fundraise for charity?There are no two ways  about it\u2026losing someone to cancer just sucks. My great grandmother passed away  from breast cancer when I was thirteen and her death had a major impact on me.  This past year, my brother\u2019s best friend since they were six lost his own battle  with cancer at just twenty-eight years of age and it was excruciating. No one  should have to walk that road. Ever.Individually, we  don\u2019t have bottomless pockets, but combined, we are a force to be reckoned with  and we can do a lot of good in the world.You walked in 2  breast cancer walks.\u00a0 What did you learn from them and what do you feel you  accomplished by completing them?I learned a lot about  myself and that my limits actually are more than I even expected. Sixty miles  and forty miles sounds like a really long way to go and it is, but focusing on  the smaller increments makes it attainable. Along the way, I got to chat with  lots of other walkers and hear their moving stories which was an incredible  experience.Do you have any  advice to give any other brave Affiliates who may decide to  walk? Break in your shoes,  train lots, don\u2019t be afraid to ask for bandaids for your blisters and be  fearless! It doesn\u2019t matter what size you wear or if you think you could be in  better shape. It doesn\u2019t matter if you come in first or last in something like  this. The only person you are competing against is yourself and it\u2019s far, far  more important that you participate!Thank you Karen and everyone else involved with Strike Out Breast Cancer."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Press Room","item":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/press-room\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"My Breast Cancer Walk, Bowling and How You Can Help.
