Junior High Competitions

Saturday, February 5th - 8th Grade Games

Sunday, February 6th - 7th Grade Games

Last year, through the generosity of the community,

$10,000 was raised.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

All proceeds from this year's event will be directed to THE BEAR NECESSITIES PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION. Please CLICK HERE to read more about this organization that funds medical research grants, offers service grants for programs within pediatric oncology facilities across the nation and serves the Chicago-area hospitals with their wonderful Bear Hugs program that eases some of the many challenges a cancer diagnosis brings to patients and their family members.

New this year!

Dust off those shoes.

Alumni Games - Friday, February 4th

Contact your classmates and form a team ahead of time.

Or, come on your own and join with others that night.
We'll mix and match groups.

If you're not able to play, show up for the fun of it!

It's reunion time.

We want parents on the sidelines cheering too.

It's time to pack The Barn and make some noise against cancer! 

Arrive at 6:30pm and we'll put a schedule together.

15-minute games.  Lots of playing time.

An entry fee of $20 includes a special Alumni T-shirt.

Medals too.  They even have snowflakes on the back!

Please RSVP through a blog comment below

and include your T-shirt size.

We want to know how many players to expect and 
we need to place the alumni T-shirt order ahead of time.
Respond as soon as possible.  Thank you.

We'll gather at Ledo's afterwards, just like the old days!

I found some old team pictures to motivate you all.

Yes girls, before I coached I played with the Class of '72.

Hmmm, where am I in this lovely black & white team picture?

We may be part of the Not-so-Recent Grads group now

but we were pretty tough back then. 
I think... if I can remember back that far.
Come on, Wincie, Lynda and Sue!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The class of '96 has already begun pre-game warmups

through some rigorous Facebook message exercises.

Teammates are getting pretty fired up through

memories of past techniques and game strategies.
There's talk about a team uniform and matching hair scrunchies.
Lord help us! This should be a real treat.
Watch out for Sarah's Team!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Two of you in this group have sisters on the '96 team.

I'd think you'd want to show up the "old girls"!

Tell Erin M we can have a pasta party. 

She'll get on a plane for that!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

OK, all of you recent college graduates

Come on out and show your stuff!

Remember the color charts I gave you?

What are your color-personalities now?

We've got some serious players in this group

and a few new nurses too, just in case
one of the Not-so-Recent Grads goes down.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This group is missing a pretty important team member,

and she'd sure love to see all of you out there

showing the others how it's done.

Come home from school for Super Bowl Weekend

and kick back at cancer too!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You girls were my last team

and I was only able to coach you in 5th grade.

Come on out and show everyone what you're made of

now that you're in high school
cuz you were awfully good back then!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I only have pictures of the teams I coached,  

and think of how many more of you are out there.
Cletus Coach Sue Lovett Rejdukowski doesn't have 
her team picture. Hmmm, where can it be?
She's been working so hard on tournament preparation
and hasn't had the time to look!


GET ON FACEBOOK AND MESSAGE YOUR FRIENDS.
SPREAD THE WORD!

Please come out on Friday, February 4th.

We'll all have so much fun!
Remember to RSVP with T-shirt size.
