Getaway Raffle

Parents and Players,

Many of you may remember Sean Lowridge from last fall. He and his wife live in my home town of Marshall, MI and our extremely close friends of our family. Sean came and spoke with our Varsity team the Thursday before our Troy High game last year. His message was not only well received and inspiring, but by the request of many players and parents, I have been asked numerous times to bring Sean back for another speaking engagement.

Sean and his wife, Kathleen, started the "I've Got Your Backs" foundation a year and a half ago after they lost their son Issac to H1N1 complications. The "I've Got Your Backs" foundation is a non-profit organization that looks to help others in need. Whether it be a scholarship opportunity to a high school student, buying beds, bedding, and groceries for families in need, to helping a single mother struggling financially pay her rent; Sean and Kathleen have dedicated their lives to help others the way Issac lived to help people as well. Sean and Kathleen have asked numerous times if there is anything they can do to help our community, they would be more than will to do so.

The foundation is having a "Getaway Raffle" if any of you are interested. It will cost $20.00 a ticket and the prizes are amazing. The prizes include:

1st Prize: Hilton Head Golf Package
2 tickets to PGA Heritage Golf Tournament (April 19th -April 24th, 2011)
5 nights at the Hilton Head Resort and Spa (April 19th -April 24th, 2011)
$600.00 in American Express Cash

2nd Prize: Lake Michigan Getaway
2 night stay on Lake Michigan at Michimonamac Lakeshore Cottages
(Winner will arrange the dates)
$100.00 Gas Card
$100.00 in groceries.

The drawing will occur March 16th, 2011 – Issac’s birthday/He would have been 22. You can purchase tickets online at: www.ivegotyourbacks.org, or you can write a check to the "I've got Your Backs" foundation and give it to me. I have 100 tickets ready for purchase.

Thank you for your time. Talk to you soon.
