Relay for Life

Got an email from our nephew Jake, son of Joe, who's on the Haverford men's soccer team. I've posted it below. Jake and the team are asking for support for their community service project which this year will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Karl and I gladly threw in our support, in honor of both Joe and Marti. If you are so inclined, Jake and all of us would be grateful. Thanks!

Dear family and friends,

Each year, the Haverford Men's Soccer team engages in a community service project. For 2011 we have decided to raise money for cancer research by participating in the Relay For Life that will take place at Haverford College on April 2-3, 2011. On that night, we will walk around a track as a team from 8 pm to 8 am: cancer never sleeps, so neither will we! (For one night, at least). We have decided to donate to the American Cancer Society because cancer has affected our team in a particularly potent way this year — several players currently have family members battling the disease.

I have volunteered to be the coordinator for our relay team. I've set up a team page at the following URL:

http://main.acsevents.org/goto/haverfordmenssoccer

If you follow that link, you will see a team roster. (It's not too populated at the moment, but many players are fundraising without having registered online yet.) Click on my name, and you will be presented with a button labeled "Donate." I would greatly appreciate any level of donation you feel comfortable making — even $10 brings us closer to our initial team goal of $1000, which we hope to meet and exceed very soon.

Please contact me with any questions you may have about the Relay For Life event or donation process. And thank you in advance for your time and generosity!

With gratitude,

Jake Seeley
