Dear Westborough Little League Families,

We hope you are having a great start to your summer and staying cool!

The Westborough 10-year old All Star team is participating in the Jimmy Fund baseball tournament, and the team will be out in the community during July to help raise donations for the Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This is a great way to teach children the importance of helping others.

We will be directly contributing to the Jimmy Fund in the following ways and would like your help in spreading the word to family/friends:

The players will be out in their uniforms collecting in our community—look for us this Saturday at the town dump.
Strike Out Cancer Read-A-Thon – open to children of all ages—the goal? To get kids reading! Donate $10 online at: www.jimmyfundevents.kintera.org/littleleague2010/westborough10yearoldallstars
Click on “Read-A-Thon” and make your donation. Then, email Jen McGrath at: jmcgrath819@verizon.net to register your child. Please provide your name and your name(s) and age(s) of your child(ren). Upon receipt of your registration, you will be provided instructions. There will be fun weekly prizes, a chance to win a $50 Target gift card and an ice cream party in August.
Come to our player-run carwash, date to be determined.

Also, on Sunday, July 25 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Target Field, come to our Home Run Derby/ Family Field Day. This is a great way to have fun with your entire family and friends at an affordable price! The cost is $5 per child for unlimited game activities such as:

Baseball home run derby
Lots of Field Day games, both baseball and non-baseball related
Face painting
Arts and crafts

There will be food, fun, and prizes to be had! There will also be a baseball card maker and raffles.

All proceeds from this event will be donated to The Jimmy Fund. So, please bring your family and friends, and help the Westborough 10-Year old All Star team take a swing at cancer!

We need your help to make this a successful fundraising campaign. Please help by spreading the word.
