First I would like to say how excited I am about this game and opportunity to play it alongside my teammates and all my friends. I am truly blessed to be able to share the greatest game alongside the greatest players at the worlds greatest field.
Not all people are so lucky....
It is with this in mind that A&B would like to announce it's annual food drive. This will be the fourth consecutive year that we've done this at the big fall game at Splatbrothers.
The first year (2007) was a mere 64 lbs of non-perishable food. Last year (2008) everyone chipped in and we came up with 10 times that. An awesome total of 640 lbs. Last year (2009) we more than doubled the previous year and came up with 1308 lbs. We have been challenged to collect even more food this year and we're shooting for 3/4 of a ton! 1500lbs! This is not going to be easy.
This is why we need your help. If everybody could bring a can or two of non perishable food it would definitely get us to that mark.
It is for the less fortunate of our community and all gathered food will be delivered to the Colonial Heights food bank. A&B will be collecting and weighing the food in it's camp area.
We will work with our sponsors to have a prize package for the top donater in terms of weight and once again A&B will take itself out of the running. No less committed but no prize. Our prize comes in helping the community.
If anybody wants to donate money to the cause instead of food, A&B will work with local food stores to maximize that money. Any member of A&B can collect the funds.
If any teams have sponsors who would like a little recognition and to be part of a greater cause, we would definitely appreciate the help.
I thank you in advance for help. Whether "Russian or American" we are all a part of something bigger. Remember that and give what you can. We appreciate your help and contributions.
