PLAY BALL FOR CONSOLADA AND HER SONS
Consolada, a Manchester resident, is struggling with an advanced cancer diagnosis she received this past March. With the little that medical interventions can do for her tumors, doctors predict that she has two months left to live. Not only is this devastating for Consolada, but for her three sons as well. Nathaniel, 10 years old, attends Beech Street Elementary school, while Alex, 15 years old, and Jonathon, 16 years old, attend Central High in Manchester. Saint Anselm College is hosting a Wiffle Ball Tournament to raise money to support both the cost of medical bills and basic living needs for the family. Our goal is raise $5,000. We are hoping you can help.
For the past fifteen years the Meelia Center has held a Wiffle Ball tournament fundraiser to respond to a need in the community. In the past, we have played for a baby boy waiting for a bone marrow transplant and for a local agency opening a soup kitchen for kids. This year the proceeds will ease the burden on a family in desperate need of comfort.
If you have not been to one of our Wiffle Ball Tournaments you really are missing something-- It is exciting, hectic, and more fun than you can imagine! You have never seen wiffle ball like this! The tournament will be held Sunday, November 4th, 2007 in the Carr Center on our campus. Don’t miss this fun chance to make a difference for this family. So get your friends together and sign up today! Below are 3 ways that you can help and be part of this important effort.
