Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.

Tomorrow is Dabo Swinney's All In Team Foundation Ladies Clinic -- the event will bring together hundreds of Clemson Girls for a fun, full day of activities, and will raise A LOT of money for breast cancer research. We are excited to be a part of such a great event and worthy cause. Don't forget to stop by our table and say hello! See you there!
We were going to post our recap yesterday -- but we were still recooperating from the long day Saturday and all of the fun from the 2012 All In Team Foundation Ladies Clinic.
The Ladies Clinic had over 1000 women attending according to Dabo. The day was jam packed with great activities and fun - from the 'Wife Swap' game, to Elvis, to 'Dancing with the Football Stars' - I think every lady there had a fabulous time.
Fellow Clemson Girl and Governor Nikki Haley attended!
And Clemson student Ali Rogers, the new Miss South Carolina, was also there to participate. She is definitely a contender for Miss America in January of next year -- and we loooove her dress.
And of course, the main reason we were all there was to raise money for breast cancer research - over $26,000 was raised! The lady in the red shirt next to Kathleen is a 94 year old breast cancer survivor - talk about inspiration!
This year we had our very own table set up... some of you may not have found us since we were ALL the way on the end of the shopping section, and with limited 'shopping' time, we missed a lot of you.
But for those of you who ventured to the end of the vendor carousel, it was so nice to meet you and we even saw our Clemson Girl t-shirts on a few of you. :) One girl told us she read about the Ladies Clinic on our blog and that's why she went - very cool!
We loved seeing the Clemson gameday inspired outfits - painted Toms shoes, cute new Clemson tees, homemade Clesmon belts...and how cute are these Tiger stripe inspired nails?
We were selling our new Clemson Girl swag...which will soon be available to purchase online (details coming soon).
We also gave away a pair of these very POPULAR Clemson Jack Rogers Navajo sandals.
Take a look at the photos we captured from the day on our Flickr site or in the slideshow below. We have video coming soon - videos of the 'Dancing with the Football Stars' which are hilarious! Stay tuned...
Did you attend the Ladies Clinic this year? What was your favorite part of the day?
This event is always a great coming together of female Clemson fans -- it's for a great cause and it always gets everyone super excited for the upcoming football season. Can you believe it's only 39 days away until our first game?!? Whoo hoo!
We will be missing out on the weight room entertainment this year to instead work alongside our friends at Tickled Orange to help sell our Clemson Girl "You might be a Clemson Girl if..." t-shirts that YOU helped us design. :) We are so excited to be a part of such a good cause this year -- using the shirts to help raise money for Dabo's All In Team Foundation.
If you haven't gotten your must-have Clemson Girl shirt yet (the best Clemson t-shirt this year...right?), you can still purchase them online through Tiger Town Graphics website. If you're attending the Ladies Clinic on Saturday, stop by the Tickled Orange table during the shopping time slot, come find ClemsonGirl.com and purchase one for yourself! Get your shirt autographed by the players and coaches!
Also make sure you stop by and visit so we can take a picture of you to feature in a Ladies Clinic album on the blog next week -- especially if you will be wearing your own t-shirt design! Last year you all were so creative!
And please take LOTS and LOTS of photos this year and email them to us so we can add them to our Ladies Clinic album next week.
We are so excited - last year the Ladies Clinic was so much fun. It's always great to see the Clemson female fans come out and support Clemson athletics, Dabo and such a great cause.
See you there! :)
P.S. If you're going to the Ladies Clinic Saturday, do a good deed in the morning and bring the Tiger mascot water... I did this last year and he was SO grateful. It's hot as heck and can you imagine wearing that outfit for almost two hours, posing for pictures and signing autographs? Oh..and don't forget the straw! :)
