Unfortunately none of the people from our football community won the "I've Got Your Backs" raffle, but I wanted to thank all of you for supporting a great organization. Shawn and Kathleen have already used some of the proceeds to help one of our local families in need. Thanks again your support. I felt it was necessary to forward you the following information.

Hi Everyone,
We want to start with a huge "Thank You" for helping us to make the IGYB Raffle a huge success. We finally got all the numbers in and we sold 878 tickets, that's an amazing amount of tickets sold and $17,560 raised for the I've Got Your Back Foundation!!! We are so grateful--we could have never done it without you.
Just in the last few weeks we have been able to help with the following requests:
* financial help for a student's educational expenses-- his father passed away and his mother lost her job
* students who would like to attend Acquire the Fire, a Christian based personal growth conference, who could not afford it otherwise
* support a student who will be studying with her school in Alaska over the summer
* help to sponsor youth in an athletic development program
* help a young couple who is going to Uganda to work in an orphanage
These are just a few of the requests that we have been able to say "yes" to because of the funds generated through your partnership with the IGYB Raffle. We know that Isaac is so proud of all of us and our desire to make a difference in the lives of youth.
Always be thankful,
Shawn, Kathleen and family
