Special Operations Warrior Foundation "I am running the Destin 50 miler on Feb 19th while raising money for the Special Ops Warrior Foundation. My husband is a TWO time wounded warrior who has lost many friends. I want to be able to help families of fallen soldiers. My husband is currently deployed yet again to Afghanistan and will not be here the day of my race. I am running in honor of friends KIA. I need a shirt for the race made with their names listed for me to run in and also for my crew. This organization is one of the many that helped my family when we were at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, so it is very important to me.

West Middle School "Our middle school has just joined a local area sports league this year. Our basketball team is the first official sport in the interdivisional league and we are currently 0-7. We definitely need a morale boost. Our school is located in the inner city and I am just happy to give these kids a safe place to go after school even if only for a few hours. I drive most of the team home because it isn't safe to walk home after practice. They are great kids and really enjoy being together please help me do something nice for them. Please consider our school for this award." http://www.hartfordschools.org Veterans Sanctuary "Veterans Sanctuary is a variable length inpatient facility treating veterans with PTSD, drug and alcohol addictions. Many of our vets return from combat not able to deal with things they experienced in war. They have nightmares, flashbacks and trouble assimilating back into society. Many turn to drugs and alcohol as a way of dealing with their demons. Veterans Sanctuary provides a place where our vets can begin to heal by attending therapeutic groups, practicing mindfulness, art therapy, etc.They also support each other, vet helping vet. We would use the $250.00 to buy sweatpants and sweatshirts for our clients to wear upon being admitted. All of their clothing must be washed as soon as they are admitted.
I want to also thank your organization for offering this opportunity to non-profits. There are a lot of people who want to do good things for others without having a lot of money and it is people like you who make it possible.
Thank-you for supporting our veterans,

We are the only legal service provider focusing 100% of our resources on the ever growing senior population. Sometimes all an older person needs is a one-time service from an attorney, yet given their fixed income, they cannot afford it. That is where we come in to fill that gap.
We are having our 1st Annual Dessert tasting in the hopes of raising funds to continue our legal services program. We currently operate solely on a budget of less than 10K a year, thus, relying solely the good graces of volunteers. We are hoping to make t-shirts for our volunteers for the event, to single them out, recognize them publicly, and also provide them a take-home for their efforts.
Thank you for considering our organization." http://www.elderjusticecolorado.org Delmar Girls Basketball "I am the Varsity Girls Basketball Coach at Delmar High School. We are a small middle and high school in Delmar DE. Two years ago, my girls varsity basketball team started doing a "Pink Week" for a local breast cancer charity, Women Supporting Women. The girls go out and get sponsors for the number of points they plan to score in the 3 designated games, and they then go back to collect what they earned. A portion of out ticket sales that home game also get donated to Women Supporting Women. Last year I used our basketball money to buy the girls white shirts with a pink logo on them to wear as warmups. This year we do not have that extra money. I hate to make the girls pay for them themselves but it looks nice and it draws attention to the game when they wear their pink! Last year as a team of 10, the girls raised over $750 for the local charity. It's so nice to see these girls give back. Help us to purchase these shirts and give back to a great local charity supporting a worthy cause. " http://www.delmar.k12.de.us 4th Annual Ronnie Wetmore Memorial Flag Football Tournament The Annual Thanksgiving Flag Football Tournament is held each year in honor and memory of Ronnie Wetmore.
Ronnie was a son, big brother, best friend, and an all around good person who passed away during the peak of his life. He thought of others first, and himself last. He was the person who could make you smile when you were having a bad day and the one who could make you laugh when you were crying. He was everybody’s best friend.
Each year, beginning in high school Ronnie organized a flag football game the weekend after Thanksgiving. He and all of his friends would meet in the morning on Friday or Saturday and play a friendly (but most of the time competitive) game of flag football. After Ronnie passed away, a group of his close friends organized a flag football tournament to honor his life and to raise money for the Ronald Wetmore Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship fund is awarded to a Chelmsford High School, senior varsity football player each year. The tournament is held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and draws nearly two hundred players annually. The teams are made up of family members, high school and college friends, and friends of friends from near by towns. Friends volunteer to help with the registration, as well as the cooking and selling of the food and drinks that are generously donated year after year.
 
The event raised over $3,000. The t-shirts were a huge hit! Portland YouthBuilders "I work at Portland YouthBuilders, a nonprofit alternative school. We serve at risk youth, ages 17-24 who are low income and are making a positive choice to further their education and become self sufficient. Our program helps youth finish high school, prepare for college and earn college credit, and obtain job training in computer technology and construction. Our students meet rigorous attendance standards and choose to be drug free. Last year we helped more than 100 students turn their lives around and enter apprenticeships, college, and employment.
This year we were able to join a local basketball league for alternative school students. Our students are so excited to play! They have been practicing at a local park and our games start soon. The only barrier we face to participating in the league is needing uniforms for our 15 players. Many of our students have limited clothing resources and it is important to them to look like the amazing team that they are. Any assistance you can provide to help our students play with dignity and pride by helping us obtain uniforms would be so very much appreciated." http://www.pybpdx.org/ Brad Opheim Memorial Scholarship  This scholarship honors the memory of Brad Opheim.

This is the first year of the Benzie Gridiron Club. We put this club together in the small community of Benzonia once we found out the school board was forcing our students to pay to play.

On September 10th, we are having our first surf day for children with disabilities and wounded veterans. Children and their families will have a chance to surf for free in the morning; a truly sensational day for everyone.
We believe we deserve to be chosen since this is our first event and with the numbers small we will be able to use the $250 for all shirts for surfers and volunteers. Since we have a small foundation, all the monies raised go right back to programs for children, seniors, and the families we serve with our events." http://www.sensationscharitablefoundation.org JDRF Rockin' Peeps My name is Elizabeth Greenwood and on behalf of the JDRF Rockin’ Peeps, I am contacting you with a request for your support as we prepare for our 2nd Annual Tee off “fore” a cure golf tournament. This fun-filled money-raising event with over 80 golfing participants, will be held on Saturday, October 8th at Canongate White Oak Golf Course.
The JDRF Rockin Peeps is a non-profit organization benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The Rockin' Peeps were formed last year when 3 moms set out to help educate and raise awareness, with the hope of raising more money for research on Type 1 Diabetes. We know that there are many devastating diseases in our world right now, and that saddens us, but the difference with Type 1 Diabetes is that wiping it out of existence is extremely obtainable and yet reachable. That is why we are asking you to help us make that goal successful.
Last years Tee off “fore” a cure was so successful that many of our sponsors and golfers are thrilled to see what will take place this year. With this in mind we are approaching our previous sponsors and branching out to many new hopeful supporters with ways one might support and/or sponsor this event. Remember all contributions and donations for this event are tax deductible. With your help this event is certain to be a HUGE success.
We thank you and look forward to working with you this year. Thank you again for taking the time and showing your support. We can now hopefully tell our children in the near future that they will no longer need to check there blood sugars and give themselves insulin, because you were able to make this happen.

We work in a special day class with a curriculum consisting of adapted academics, daily living skills, physical therapy and much more.
I, along with three other teachers at my school run a Peer Buddy program. This is where general education students come into our classrooms and work with our students with disabilities. They do everything from running errands, making adapted curriculum and assisting in the inclusion process with our students.
This year we were able to raise enough money for the Peer Buddy Shirts only. A donation of $250 would help offset the cost staff will have to pay when we order our Peer Buddy polo shirts.
Any consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated." http://gms.tvusd.k12.ca.us Northwest Passage "Our organization is a non-profit leader in providing unmatched programming and services for children and adolescents who are struggling with mental illness and behavioral disorders.

I am writing to you from Nicaragua, where I am the Country Director for Whole Child International. We work to improve the quality of life for children in orphanages. Twice a month we have trainings for the orphanage staff followed up by one on one work with the caregivers in the orphanages. All of the children we work with have been abandoned, abused, neglected and or mistreated. We focus on giving the caregivers specific skills to improve their communication with children and on helping orphanage directors provide more stability for the children through keeping them in the same groups. Our staff works tirelessly with the orphanage staff and I would love to not only do something nice for them, but also want to have them be easily identifiable when they are in the orphanages or providing trainings. Having shirts that clearly identified them, as Whole Child Staff would be amazing. Thank you for considering us!

We do a spring and fall program where we sell ads to the local businesses and family/friends. We try to reward the players that participate with a nice gift if they reach a goal. This past season we had 15 kids reach this goal and we ordered wildcat pjs and a SGS designed shirt :). We have also used you prior to that for our board member jackets- which we LOVE!

 http://www.ippi.org/ Boys Town "Boys Town has been helping neglected, misplaced and abandoned children since its formation in 1917 by Father Edward Flanagan. The Central Florida location has been active since 1986. My group and I were raising funds to throw the kids from the residential program a cultural event day, and we decided to visit the campus to get the perspective of the kids who we are throwing the event for. While we were there, the kids asked our group if we were interested in playing basketball (these kids can go all day on the courts). After talking with one of the supervisors, they said that all the kids do is play basketball when they aren't in class or doing chores. We think it would be great to give the kids real basketball jerseys to give them a sense of teamwork, and confidence to help them through this rough time in their lives." http://www.boystown.org/central-florida Team Diabetes Canada

http://www.teamdiabetes.ca Relay For Life of Cheshire, CT Relay For Life of Cheshire, CT is an overnight event of good times for a great cause to help beat cancer! Teams from corporations, clubs, hospitals, churches, and families all join the fun. Funds raised will help support the American Cancer Societys programs of research, education, and service to patients and their families.
I felt it was important to put together a Relay For Life team because this year my life has been impacted by cancer. One of my fellow soccer players was diagnosed with cancer early on in the season and it was very hard for the whole team to realize that we could not play with one of our good friends. Hopefully the money that we can raise will help to find a cure for cancer so that victims of this disease and their families will have hope for a cure. http://www.relayforlife.org Alternative Family Services Here are some photos from the Bay Area BBQ Championship with people wearing the jerseys we ordered.

Alternative Family Services, a foster, adoption and mental health agency has served thousands of foster children, youth and families since 1978. On July 16th we have a unique opportunity to partner up with the Oakland A's, International Barbecue Cookers Association and the Oakland Chamber of Commerce for the Bay Area BBQ Championship (www.bayareabbq.org).
This is a professional cook-off in the Coliseum Parking lot prior to the A's double header against the LA Angels. All proceeds from this event go directly to the foster children, youth and families served by AFS.
AFS should be chosen for the $250 grant because it will directly benefit the foster kids served by our agency. The more expenses we can get help with, the better chance we have of raising money for the kids and families. We have to order volunteer t-shirts, custom jerseys for the Celebrity Judges, judges t-shirts and possible embroidered polos for our employees so we have quite a large shirt expense.
We are also able to promote sportswear.com on all event materials including the event website www.bayareabbq.org.
Please feel free to visit our agency website at www.afs4kids.org to learn more about the services we provide to thousands of foster children, youth and families.
http://www.afs4kids.org Central Falls Panthers "Our football team is an inner city football organization. Our city is currently under state receivership and is a very poor city. It is a square mile and highly populated. When we do try to have events to raise money, the city or police dept. turn us down and are not willing to give a helping hand due to the economic state of the city. It is very hard to try to have any type of fundraising event or boot drive etc when the city officials or police dept are not supporting the team. With a crime filled city and high school that made national news because of teachers getting fired or poor test scores, our football team helps to keep city youth out of trouble and also gives them a sense of pride and family when they might not have that at home. The teams itself do very well and most have made it either to playoffs or superbowl. Being chosen would help us make necessary equipment upgrades and also show our youth that people are willing to help." http://www.centralfallspanthers.net/ Urban Underground Inc. "Urban Underground is a youth leadership organization designed to advance a new generation of young leaders committed to building safe and sustainable communities. High school age teens organize around issues that most impact them (i.e. education, health and criminal justice). We should be chosen for the Logo GiveBack program because the young people volunteer their time to make change within themselves and their community. The Logo GiveBack program would be a great opportunity to provide some kind of incentives for the students and to allow them to feel proud about being an Urban Underground member and giving back their time to make their communities a better place." http://www.urbanunderground.org/ Dakota's Puzzle "Please join me in my efforts to support Walk Now for Autism Speaks!

By participating in this event, you are helping to change the future for all who struggle with autism. By walking, you are getting us one step closer to finding what causes autism, how to prevent and treat it, and ultimately a cure so no family ever hears those words again. Until then, we walk to find answers and raise awareness about the devastating toll that autism has had on families like ours. I need you to help make tomorrow be about dance lessons, school lunches and first words rather than therapy, doctor appointments and despair.

Last year was such an amazing experience, I had to come back and do it again!!! But I wouldn't of been able to do it without the love and support of my wonderful husband, kids, family and friends like you. Some of you may not know the story of why I am doing the Avon 2 Day Walk for Breast Cancer, so here's my little story:
In the fall of 2006 Andrew went to preschool and quickly became friends with a little girl named Maddie K. I intern became friends with her mother, Mia. From there on my "Preschool Friends" alliance was built. Mia was not shy to tell us her story and how she was fighting breast cancer. To see this women in action is truly amazing and inspirational at the same time. After many surgeries and bumps in the road to recovery, she was cancer free for 4 1/2 years. But in the late summer of 2010 Mia found out her cancer was back. With the help of her family and friends she's fighting back harder then ever!
A little closer to home for us was in November of 2009 my beautiful mother-in-law, Denise was diagnosed with breast cancer. We were all devastated to say the least. After a few surgeries, radiation and a few more scares along her bumpy road to recovery; we're happy to report she's been cancer free for a little over a year now!"

Our students want to have a school Relay jersey that makes the school united in our fundraising drive. To join the team, Relay wants each member to raise over a hundred dollars each. This isn't possible for the students so they want to have a school relay shirt that they can use to raise money as well as represent the school."

This year's theme is "Moving Forward, Giving Back". Our "mock" company Lids4Hope works on the buy one give one concepts. For every hat purchased, one hat would be given to a child with leukemia. The concept was developed from the experience of one of our students who was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 8. Through the support of his family, his puppy, and the hospital staff, he found confidence, hope, trust, and faith.

Y.E.D.S stands for Young, Eager and Determined to Succeed.
This drill team is recruiting girls ages 4 to 16 in different low income communities in order to help build self-esteem, character, responsibility, and sportsmanship.
This organization is set out to show some of these girls that it is possible to do anything they want to if they stay dedicated, work hard and set goals. Selling items with our team logo will be one of their accomplishments, which will help raise money to go to dance camps and competitions.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity." http://www.yedsdrillteam.com/ Family Health & Support Network, Inc. "Each year approximately 800,000 children spend time in the U.S. foster care system. Many are placed with families who provide much needed stability. However, 5 years is the typical wait time for a child to be adopted out of foster care and many children who reach their teens never get adopted.
The lack of commitment and financial support to foster care is helping create a population of throwaway children, many of whom go on to lives of substance abuse, homelessness and crime.
Youngsters leaving foster-care ill-equipped for life on their own often end up homeless or permanently dependent on welfare services.
Family Health & Support Network, Inc. (FHSN) is a community based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit Foster Family Agency servicing, Riverside, Orange and San Bernardino counties. The California Foster Care system was devastated by a 10% decrease in funding last year. While 10% to some does not seem like much, in consideration of the economic shortage of funding, we have lost approximately 20% of financial support--which has a drastic affect on our budget and our ability to give to the children placed in our care.
FHSN is the only nonprofit Foster Family Agency in the Coachella Valley, having placed and monitored more than 1,000 children in our quality certified foster family homes. These children would have otherwise been placed in homes out of their neighborhoods away from their schools, churches, community and families
Family Health & Support Network, Inc. goes beyond federal funding guidelines which encourage short-term crisis-management and concentrate on long-range, skill-development programs through the FHSN Children’s Fund. We find it very important to help our teenagers develop trust, a sense of belonging, healthy identity, self-esteem and a passionate outlook on life in preparation for a safe emancipation from foster care. The FHSN Children’s Fund monetary and in-kind donations, event sponsorship, and volunteers help support innovative incentive programs—empowering our youth to acquire life skills and meet educational and career objective. Our programs are critical for turning around significant obstacles in foster youth and promoting resiliency, optimism about their futures and life successes.

This year we are a charity partner with the Marine Corps Marathon and we hope to raise much needed funds through this program. We are a small but passionate group of people who should be chosen because the people we represent and serve are so deserving. Lupus is not yet a household name, so to speak like breast cancer is, so any help goes a long way towards making lupus a more visible cause.

The uniforms we have do not fit the players properly, we are short 3 uniforms (13 on team), and wear pennies for away games. I believe looking like a team would give them more confidence and drive to build this girls soccer program." http://www.libertychs.org Overlake Hospital Medical Center "We are a non-profit, non-tax supported community hospital. I am specifically applying for our school program that serves special needs students (50). We are celebrating our 10th year. We have an Orca logo developed. The students earn "wisebucks" for reaching their educational goals and can spend them in the student store. I would use this donated sportswear to stock the store so that student can purchase items with the school logo. This would really support goal achievement and school morale.

I have always wanted to do a 5k or 10k for a good cause, but I never thought that cause would be my own. My name is Tammy Noojin/Harline. I am 24 years old and just got told that I am in remission! I had Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma which transformed into (DLBCL) Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I have had a hard life my whole life and never thought cancer would be in my future, especially at such a young age. I was adopted as a pre-teen by the woman I call Mom and she has had cancer 3 times!!!! She is currently going through treatment. I couldn't tell her when I was diagnosed because the type of cancer I had is the same cancer that cost her mother her life.
I am putting on a 5k and 10k walk/run on January 15, 2011 8:00 AM at the Start/Finish of the YMCA of the COOSA VALLEY,INC (Sponsor)in Gadsden, AL. Their 5k and 10k route is a USATF Certified Route! They are letting me use this route free of charge for this event and I am so thankful for them! The winners will receive a cash prize from our sponsors. The race is $20.00 to participate in. Anyone who pre-registers will receive a free Lymphoma Awareness T-Shirt. These shirts will be available for purchase for those who do not pre-register. EVERY $20 REGISTRATION FEE WILL GO TO THE LYMPHOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION in NYC.
Thank you so much for your time! I don't know of a Lymphoma run anywhere around where we live so I would like for nothing more than this one to be a huge success!! The race is the day after my 25th Birthday, and I am so thankful to have made it to 25. I will be participating in the race as my way of telling myself Congrats on making it to 25 years old!!!!! HOPE...FAITH...CURE Hodgkin's, and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma!!!!!!!!!!
I really hope that ya'll are able to help our cause.

16th Annual Fantasy Of Lights The Wells Project at Baylor University "The Wells Project at Baylor University is a non-profit student organization at Baylor University, and our mission is to raise awareness and funds for the 884 million people around the world that do not have access to clean water. We exist to move our University to action, and rally students, staff, and faculty to make a huge impact on the water crisis. We are a new organization, but have accomplished a lot. We have raised over $1,500 dollars to drill a freshwater well in Nicaragua, we have accumulated over 400 "fans" on our Facebook page, and have gotten over 10 other student organizations involved in what we're doing.
Starting October 25th, we're asking Baylor students, staff, and faculty to replace their normal beverages with water for 10 Days. Money that was saved from not buying those normal beverages will be donated to The Wells Project. Every dollar we raise will go directly to drill freshwater wells.
We should be chosen because we have a commitment to bringing our campus together to make an impact on the water crisis. We believe that students can make a difference in our world, and that excites us!" http://www.wellsproject.com
"I am a participant in one of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's "Out of the Darkness" Community Walks. Although my community walk (Manchester, CT) is in less than two weeks, there are ongoing walks scheduled, and there will also be community walks in 2011. Suicide is still a taboo subject to talk about, there is still a stigma associated with it. I (and the AFSP) are trying to educate the public that we need to talk about depression, mental illness, and suicide prevention. We need to get the word out there...just these past few weeks, seven young adults took their own lives because of being bullied and felt they had no other choice. A few weeks ago, an NFL player took his own life, and the list (unfortunately) goes on and on...although most of these losses by suicide do not make the local or national news. My own father died by suicide when I was 13 years old, and I will always feel that pain, and will always miss him. I am just trying to do all that I can to educate others and hopefully (in my small way) share my story and possibly help save a life. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention always needs items for raffles at these walk events, and also customized t-shirts for team walkers (who cannot afford to purchase their own t-shirts). Although the AFSP is the leading national non-profit organization solely dedicated to education, advocacy, suicide prevention and survivor support, we are overshadowed by the big charities out there. Possibly this is because the AFSP is dealing with a subject that people have difficulty talking about. My hope is that through the "Out of the Darkness Community Walks," we can increase awareness. Having items with team logos and raffle items available would be greatly appreciated and would help our efforts." http://www.outofthedarkness.org Cheshire High Boys Soccer "The CHS boys soccer team wanted to do something to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. We have all seen major league sports teams wearing pink -- most notably players in the NFL wearing pink chin straps, jerseys and spikes. The players, parents and coaches of the CHS team decided to wear pink sweatbands, donated by LogoSportswear, for their annual Senior day game. Each child and the coaching staff plan to wear the sweatbands to raise awareness for breast cancer." http://www.cheshire.k12.ct.us/chs/default.html Ruth Meiers Hospitality House "Our homeless shelter began in 1987 and is named after Ruth Meiers, North Dakota's first female Lieutenant Governor. The recession has hit our budget at a time when the hungry, homeless and low-income people we serve need us more than ever. Last year, we provided over 12,000 nights of food, shelter and support to 101 children, 74 women and 358 men. We would love to use promotional items for our upcoming fundraiser." http://www.rmhh.org Mugs For Jugs "
Mugs for Jugs is a team on the "Avon Walk For Breast Cancer Houston 2011." Each walker must raise a minimum of $1800 to participate in the walk and we are looking to have t-shirts, mugs, caps, and bags made for donation give-aways. $250 worth of products would help out TREMENDOUSLY!" http://www.mugsforjugs.net Lance Armstrong Foundation "
On October 2, 1996, Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. On that day, he made a decision to face his illness with courage, strength and dignity. On October 2, Lance became a survivor.
Today, there are 28 million people living with cancer around the world who have experienced that same day. And shockingly, this year, cancer will become the leading cause of death worldwide.
This October 2 is LIVESTRONG Day. Communities around the world will come together on this global day of action to raise awareness and support our fight to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
Will you join us in standing with 28 million survivors this October 2 on LIVESTRONG Day? The event we’ll be holding at our HQ is a tailgate party for the infamous Texas vs. Oklahoma rivalry game. We’ll be inviting staff, volunteers, partners, donors, and survivors to come watch the game and be a part of our global awareness day. I’m writing to you for a special request. We hold the date 10/2 very close to our hearts, and we’d like to be able to have yellow and black jerseys with the numbers 10 (on the front) and 2 (on the back) to wear during this event in support of our mission.
Together we can work toward our goal of a world without cancer." http://www.livestrong.org RWB Triathlon Team "Team Red, White, and Blue (RWB) is a brand new 501c(3) charity whose mission is to raise awareness and funds to support wounded veterans after they have received medical care. Team RWB will raise funds and awareness through participation in endurance sports, specifically marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons. I am the Team RWB Triathlon team captain. The Triathlon Team is literally at ground zero right now and recruiting athletes to participate in a variety of triathlon events for the remainder of this year, and especially for 2011. As we recruit athletes, and most importantly, get the Team RWB name out and about, it's important for people to SEE it. One of the best ways for people to see us is to wear our Team colors and logo proudly. The $250 of LogoSportswear gear would go an incredibly long way in helping us give our brand new athletes (who are signing on board, not for what they can get, but for what they can give and raise for our wounded veteran heroes) some team colors to wear.

" http://teamrwbtriathlon.logosoftwear.com/ Clash For A Cure "Freeland's home football game on September 17th is known as the "Clash for a Cure." Freeland is a small community in the state of Michigan with approximately 5,000 residents. This is an event to raise money for breast cancer. The football players will be wearing pink jerseys, pink gloves, and pink socks during their game. The Freeland Pompon Team, which we represent, will also be performing in the pink jerseys that we are currently ordering from your company. The football players and pompon girls will be playing in honor/memory of a cancer survivor or victim. After the game, each of their jerseys will be given to this person or to the family of this person. Members of the football team and pompon squad will also be escorted onto the field by this person who has survived cancer or by their family. We are selling t-shirts to help raise money for the cause, and have activities set up for the day of the game, such as a dunk tank, 50/50 raffle, Chinese auction, and bake sale. Furthermore, the proceeds from the concession stand during the game will also be donated to this great cause. In our continuing effort to help in our community, we are also hosting a blood drive in memory of a local business owner who lost her battle with breast cancer. This has become a large community event, and we are extremely excited to be a part of it, as this is the first of what will become an annual event. Our team members are very excited to be honoring family, friends, and their community by performing for someone who has fought cancer. Freeland's graduating class of this year, 2010, along with the upcoming class, 2011, have both lost students to cancer. The class of 2006 also encountered such a loss, so cancer has certainly impacted our town and caused our community members to become actively involved in our "Clash for a Cure." Therefore, we are looking for any and all ways to make this event a huge success. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated." http://www.freelandathleticassoc.org Azarel Outreach Inc.

We help families with meals, gas, transportation, and lodging while their children receive care at nearby Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. Many families have to stay at the Ronald McDonald House nearest to the hospital as they come from all parts of the United States. Many times there is a wait list and families do not have enough money for lodging and sleep at the hospital or in their cars. Some many families come to the Ronald McDonald House with no money, food and will stay for months during their child’s care, away from other family and from work.
Sophies Heart is a volunteer based organization whereby 100% of our proceeds goes back to assisting the families we serve. We are committed to helping parents who struggle emotionally and financially to care for their children in their time of need.
