  Foul Shot - a - Thon  
 
Shot a ThonATTENTION ALL PARENTS


The St. Margaret Mary Athletic Association will be sponsoring a foul shot a-thon. As some of you might already know, one of our athletes was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma during the season. Many of you have asked “How can we help”? Well here is your chance! The proceeds from this event will benefit the Four Diamonds Fund and a small portion will go directly to the family of our athlete. Our goal for this fundraiser is to have all children in grades K thru 8 participate and raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund.


Our goal is $1500


Please start asking for pledges as soon as you receive your materials. On Saturday, May 31st between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., we ask that you bring your child and ALL PLEDGES collected to New Love and Christ Church, 6003 Jonestown Road, Harrisburg to shoot their foul shots. In the essence of time we will only be accepting flat donations since this fundraiser will take place on May 31st. If you will not be able to participate the day of the event we still encourage you to collect money for the cause. Please send your pledges into to school in an envelope marked Foul Shot A-Thon.
