CLUBWAKA Players Spent This Weekend Raising Money to Fight Cancer & Help Kids

Namaste.

Just one week before Christmas and CLUBWAKA Hampton Roads members were in the giving spirit. It started on Friday night with the Inaugural Winter Wonderland Charity Bar Crawl. Over 60 revelers took over Downtown Hampton, enjoying great specials and company at The Grey Goose, Stillwater Tavern, Venture Kitchen, and Taphouse. Proceeds from the wristband sales raised $325 for the Boys & Girls Club of the Virginia Peninsula and several participants also brought toys with them to donate to needy families. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this great event.

There were some pretty cool toys donated! 

The giving didn't stop there. On Sunday afternoon, CLUBWAKA kickball and volleyball member Jillian Simms held a charity yoga class at the Tribal Yoga Studio in Hampton. Several people came out including over a dozen VA Peninsula kickballers. Not only did Jill's class relax their minds and work their bodies, but it raised $510 for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life!

I continue to be blown away by the selflessness and caring of our community. This weekend is yet another reminder that it's not just about kid's sports and drinking beer. We are at our strongest when we come together for a purpose. Thank you all for your support of these great charity events.
