“A Women’s
Baseball Marathon” Tucson Electric Park
24 Hours for Africa
October 18-19, 2003
Dear Sir or Madam,
Cecilia Tan has been selected to play
in the history-making women’s marathon baseball game in October. We want to tell you about the stand she
is taking for others.
She has committed to
raising $1000 for African women and children that she has never met. She is also taking time off work and
flying herself to Arizona at her own expense.
The 24-Hour Game will be
the longest official women’s baseball game ever played. Over 100 women from across America will
form two teams and play over 100-innings.
A record of the game will be archived in Cooperstown.
This game is about heroes. By stepping on the field, Cecilia
will be saving lives. When have
you known a ballplayer to play for a reason like that?
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is
sweeping across Africa like a wildfire.
6,500 people die from the disease every day.
We are proud to be partners
with U.S. Doctors For Africa. They
send volunteer American doctors and nurses into qualified partner communities
in Africa to provide health care, medicine, doctor training, and patient
education. (www.USDFA.org)
By written agreement, 100%
of all net monies raised by our players and coaches will be put directly into
action helping African women and children through U.S. Doctors. Not a penny will go toward
overhead.
Primarily, this money will
be focused on helping African mothers give birth to babies free of HIV. Amazingly, $150 is all it takes to
provide a safe and healthy birth.
By donating through Cecilia you are helping an amazing
woman take a stand for what is right.
You have the rare and special opportunity to empower a real hero in
action.
Respectfully,
Rob Novotny
