Ribbon-Pulling Hat Day

We work in eight old homes in Beaumont's Oaks Historic District. They have charm, character, creaks and cracks. Over the last several months Pat Broussard has headed a campus improvement project that included some pressure washing, painting, patching, trimming, flooring, even a kitchen sink. One of the last touches was unveiled July 1 with a Ribbon-Pulling for a new covered outdoor area. It was celebrated with Willa White's ice cream floats and a campus hat and cap day. The array of headwear was impressive. A handsome beret, floppy beach hats, straw hats, black cowboy hat, hand-decorated cap, extra wide sombrero, and one that turned a deli to-go cup into a flower pot. The campus improvements are helping preserve Beaumont's and Jason's history, not to mention, they're nice.

05.21.11 What a Day for Troy

Saturday, CFO Troy Cormier swam 2.4 miles, rode his bike 112 miles and ran 26.2 miles. FOR FUN. He was one of 2,100 triathletes in the first Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas event in The Woodlands. Troy's time: 13 hours, 19 minutes and 45 seconds. The best time was recorded by a 34-year-old from Spain.

Troy laughed at the blob of sunblock he didn't realize was on his face in the photo, and he thanked his many well-wishers:

"I cannot express my gratitutde for the overwhelming support I received from my family, both nuclear and Jason's. It really buoyed me throughout the event. I was constantly reminded of the Ironman Motto: Swim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life!"

R4L

A deep blue cloudless sky over a sea of Jason’s Beaumont campus families in bright spring-green shirts. This was the setting for the start of Beaumont’s annual American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life on Friday the 13th.

In our fourth year as participants, the 2010 ‘Deli’cious Lifesaverz grew to six teams with nearly 60 runners and walkers who took turns taking laps around the Westbrook High School track until 6 a.m. Saturday morning. “It’s not a competition, except against cancer,” people were told in the opening ceremonies as Jason’s teams and families gathered around our castle camp, in keeping with the Fairy Tale theme.

Beyond uniting the campus, Jason’s ‘Deli’cious Lifesaverz were the #1 fundraisers for the event, collecting nearly $13,000 for ACS’ local cancer support programs.

Stephanie Hunt in IT is a team leader for the Relay, at first with her husband’s team from Paul’s job, then she helped stir up the Beaumont campus into making the R4L our largest volunteer project and cause. Stephanie was just 21 when doctors told her she had cancer and that treatment would leave her unable to have children. Fourteen years later and cancer-free, Stephanie shared her story and smiled down at the baby bump that will be her third child.

Jennifer Blackwell in Benefits (4th from the right) was diagnosed with cancer on May 15, 2009. She went from a R4L organizer to cancer survivor. The relay begins with cancer survivors going around the track in one direction, their caregiver goes the other way, and they meet to cheers from the crowd. As Jennifer began her walk she yelled for the entire Jason’s delegation to walk with her family, “because all of you are my caregivers.” Stephanie says that Jennifer’s fight and victory over cancer became all of our’s on campus. “She’s such a bright light that everyone loves to be around her.”

Stephanie says the Jason’s Relay for Life event has the potential to be really big, adding, “There’s something to do during all but two months a year to make it happen.”

p/s Lori Lewis and Raymond Buckingham have some wonderful photos from the Relay and we’ll be adding them soon…with the help of Regina!
