Save the Date! September 18, 2007

Please mark your calendars for this special event. We will be participating in this event this year on September 18. To read more about it, please click on the link to the Volley for the Cure website. In early July, I was touched personally by the loss of a friend to breast cancer. Her name was Karen Lambe. Interesting enough, Karen was the mother of a best friend of mine (Katie) that I met through club volleyball my freshman year of high school. We have remained friends to this day, even though we went to different high schools and different colleges. The girls that started this event have a similar story. They were friends through club volleyball, but went to different high schools so they decided to do something to raise awareness of breast cancer. Only one school has done this so far, but the Ohio High School Athletic Association would like all 800 teams in the state of Ohio to help raise awareness and money for this cause. We will be selling t-shirts for $5, and one of those dollars will be going to breast cancer research. We would also like to hold a raffle at the game, so if you know of any local business owners that would like to donate a gift to our raffle that would be great! Please read more about this event on the website, and begin to ask friends to help by buying t-shirts. We will send home order forms with the girls, but please feel free to take them to work or ask neighbors as well! Thank you for your support!
