Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

$24,365

It appears that is what we were able to do thanks to the wonderful kindness and generosity of all involved. We still have a couple of bills to play but we should be able to get the Norwells a number close to that.

Thanks to everyone that helped make it happen. Thanks to everyone that came and supported a team or played. I was nervous for all different kinds of reasons, but it really did work out in a flawless way. Thanks to everyone that donated their time or their possessions in order to make things happen. It really had a lot of moving parts and we wouldn't have been anywhere without the help of dozens and dozens of people.

The publicity prior to the event was great and really helped raise awareness. There should be a follow-up article in Tuesday's Chicago Tribune. Fox19 ran a story Sunday night on Sports Wrap.

Thanks again.
