Thank You, Patriots Family and Friends!!
The Navajo Girls Fastpitch would like to Thank everyone for helping make their bake sale on Saturday March 30th, benefiting the Cunningham Family a HUGE success.
Thanks to your generous donations, they raised exactly $1000.00 for the Cunningham Family. All of the money raised will be deposited into the "Cunningham Family Accident Fund" that has been set up at San Diego County Credit Union. Your contributions will mean so much to the family.
Thank you!!
The Patriots would like to thank everyone that purchased tickets in the 50/50 raffle on Saturday. The ticket purchase brought in (approx) $300.00. The drawing was held in honor of the Cunningham Family, with the league donating it's share to the family. So... it wasn't a big surprise to any of us when the winner of the drawing also donated his portion to the Cunningham family!! That just shows how caring and thoughtful our Patriot families are. After the drawing we had several other families make additional donations as well.
Thank you everyone who has participated and will continue to support the Cunningham family as they continue to work through the trials and tribulations ahead of them. And of course, the exciting times as they each progress through the healing and homecoming process!
If you would like to make donations to the family please mail to:
