“Little engine that could”

The “little engine that could” is how Krista Langille describes her team of ten who are participating in this year’s Bust a Move event.

“At first the thought of raising $1,000 each was a little daunting, but when you break it down bit by bit, it isn't that hard,” describes Krista who is captain of the Morneau Shapell Boobettes team. The team is taking a collective approach to fundraising, as opposed to leaving individuals to fundraise on their own. And with that collective approach to fundraising, comes unique, out of the ordinary ideas.

“Our team planned a Manbush, which included having one of our male staff members wear a huge, pink bra decorated in sparkles,” laughs Krista. “He was told that in order to take the bra off, he had to raise at least $200. Within two hours, he had raised over $800 from generous colleagues and friends.”

With a few more Manbush ambushes planned, as well as a wine tasting event at Palooka’s Boxing Club in early March, the Morneau Shapell Boobettes are well on their way to reaching their goal and ‘busting a move’!
