“Lest we forget the children of Camp Jumoke”)
Blessings to all of you who made this possible…..thanks to your contributions, The Brothers’ Tournament will be sending 3 children stricken with Sickle Cell Anemia to summer camp in 2008.”
The above is an excerpt from your update of the recent B*ryder Cup golf tournament. Yes, the $4,900 contributed by the Brothers’ Golf Tournaments and all of your supporters this summer will help Camp Jumoke to send 3 children to camp next year. I know you understand how grateful the kids and all Camp Jumoke volunteers are to you, the Fab Fore and all who contributed to the success of this year’s events and the resulting donation to Camp Jumoke.
Congratulations to you and the Fab Fore and the ladies on a job well done in organizing the tournaments, BBQ, Silent Auction, etc I have no doubt that the tremendous growth in participation this year at ALL events is a testimony to the hard work, dedication and commitment of all involved. Please keep up the good work!
I want to let you and all your contacts know that even though many of you were out golfing at the Bryder Cup on the same day as our recent Scholarship Award Brunch and could not be there to accept our appreciation first hand, you were well represented nonetheless. I was sure to inform the crowd of more than 150 attendees of the great job you and your team are doing in support of Camp Jumoke. When I mentioned that your efforts this year resulted in a donation of $4,900, it was met with hoots of approval and much applause. I believe I also mention that your present growth rate would see your group raising enough money within the next few years to send 10 children to camp annually (I guess I got excited). But you know that we at Camp Jumoke are thankful for what ever contribution the Brothers’ Tournaments make each year.
I am forwarding you (in a separate email) some photos of the children at camp this past summer so you and your supporters can get a glimpse of the joy that your support helps to bring to our children living bravely with Sickle Cell Disorder. If I am able to locate photos from the recent Scholarship Award Brunch, I will forward those to you as well.
On behalf of Camp Jumoke kids, families and volunteers please pass our thanks on to the other members of the Fab Fore, the wives and all of your supporters.
Have a safe and wonderful fall / winter and I look forward to seeing you all and participating in all the tournaments (even the B*ryder Cup) again next year.
All the best!
