Hi there!
I’m Yanik Silver, that's me in the red shirt with my brother, Adam, a few years back at the Pamplona, Spain. That pic was taken literally a few minutes after we finished participating in the Running of Bulls with thousands of others!
Every year the Running of the Bulls starts on July 7 and since I can’t make it this year I had an idea...
Right now you can’t turn on the TV, flip through a newspaper or browse the 'Net without some mention of how things are bleak, the coming recession, etc.
I don't think so.
I believe there's a lot of things we're all grateful for, happy about, excited for and downright 'Bullish' on — that’s why the 'Running of the Bullish' will show some of that in a, umm, interesting way!
Picture the National Mall in DC and several bulls chasing dozens and dozens of runners in traditional white w/red cloth garb. The bulls would have hundreds of notes attached to them from people all over the world about what they're 'Bullish' on — quite a crazy scene! Just imagine the surprised looks on random tourists faces when our group descends on the Mall.
Okay — Want To Be Part of the Bullish Antics?
(Read Below for Your Different Options on How to Get Involved)
Yes I want to run! Okay that's the spirit – don't even worry about what your friends say about you after this! 
To be part of the run you'll need to wear all-white (or at least a white shirt) with a red piece of cloth (could be a bandanna or red fabric sash or belt). Submit your name and email here so we can keep you updated with start location and exactly where to meet up on the Mall on the 7th.
Confirmation Required
(Don’t worry I’m not collecting emails to send you Viagra spam after this
— it’ll just be for the Running of the Bullish.)
Note: We also need about 5 'bulls'. I’ll be supplying the costumes so you don’t need to buy or pay for anything. (Contact us through the site ASAP if you want to be a bull.)
Hmmm...I don’t really want to run but I’ll help out! We still love but not quite as much (kidding)...we’ll take that too. We need a few volunteers, camera people, etc. (Contact us through the site.)
What are you Bullish on???
Now if you can’t make it but still want to support the spirit of this fundraiser tell the world what you’re 'Bullish' on. It’s a $10 donation that will go to a local young entrepreneurship non-profit group. (We’re still figuring out the right one.)
For your $10 donation you’ll get —
- "What I’m Bullish On" submission plastered on one of our raging bulls!
- "What I’m Bullish On" submission rotated on this site once the video footage is done. (Hint: for some added exposure add your domain name.)
- And of course, you get the joy and satisfaction of being part of something slightly silly and good at the same time! And maybe I’ll even add your to our Holiday card list. All-in-all it’s a win-win all around.
Go ahead and Submit what you’re Bullish on by Clicking Here
Btw — don’t worry we are not keeping any of the money for administrative fees or anything like that. Every penny will go to the local non-profit. PLUS we’re going to match funds up to $10,000.00.
