Ghostman on Third: 2017 CLUBWAKA Kicks Cancer Welcome Packet

Paola & Diane have been excellent models for us this year.

Thank you for joining us for the 2017 CLUBWAKA Kicks Cancer Charity Kickball Tournament to benefit the Sentara Cancer Network Mission Funds! On Saturday, kickball fanatics from all over Virginia will come together to do what we love, raise money to support the victims of cancer, fund critical research to find a cure, and honor the memories of those who have lost the fight. Inside this post you will find all of the information for this weekend's big event. As you read through the packet, if you have any questions or need anything clarified, please don't hesitate to reach out to Brent Wentworth at brent@kickball.com. Thank you again for joining us on Saturday. Together, we will kick cancer!

ABOUT THE CHARITY

Contributions to the Sentara Cancer Network Mission Fund assist patients who are in need of medications and supplies not covered by insurance. Cancer education pamphlets, books, support group meetings, and other supportive programs (art therapy, education classes, etc.) are also funded with these generous contributions.

“Sentara Cancer Network is excited and honored to be the recipient of the proceeds from this charity kickball tournament for the second year in a row! We want to take the opportunity during the tournament to recognize and uplift our survivors and honor those who we may have lost to cancer. We encourage anyone who’s battling or beaten cancer to wear a Survivor Sticker [Available at the check-in table]. We will also have message cards for anyone and everyone to write a message to someone they’ve lost or someone who’s been affected by cancer – Sentara Cancer Network will be making a collage out of all the messages from the tournament, so leave your mark!”

RAFFLE TICKETS

In addition to the proceeds from each registration, there will be additional fundraising efforts at the fields, including a raffle for the following prizes.

$50 off a CLUBWAKA membership (2)
