Woburn breast cancer fundraiser

Our breast cancer fundraiser game raised over $1,400 to support the local Woburn charity of the Tannar Ta Ta’s.  The players, led by the team captains, took nearly full control of the night.  We had a bake sale, raffel, and a serving contest for prizes that were donated by local businesses.

I would say that the breast cancer game was mainly led by the varsity team (12 players) as they split up the tasks of organizing the different events, making flyers, and gathering donations.  Hard to calculate the time, but maybe 6-8 hours each.  The younger players’ roles were mainly to encourage their family and friends to attend the game and partake in the fundraising activities.  We chose the Tanner Ta Ta’s as they are a well known local charity who gets help directly to Woburn families rather than going to a larger fund.  We have a speaker for the game from the organization who comes to a practice the next week and thanks the girls and tells them exactly how their donation was used  (they hired a weekly house cleaner for a woman in Woburn currently battling breast cancer).
