A borrowed stick and taped-up shin guards
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, our fall season started. [Name] showed up to our first practice with a borrowed stick that was too long and shin guards held on with tape, and ran every drill anyway.
That's why our Giving Tuesday goal is $1,000 for 10 starter kits: a stick, shin guards and a mouthguard for players who can't afford their own gear, ready for pre-season. Each kit is $100.
Giving Tuesday is one week away, and early gifts build momentum. If you'd like to help us start strong, you can give here: [Donation link]

Last fall, a new player ran every drill with a borrowed stick and taped shin guards. Cost shouldn't decide who's ready on day one. At $100, one starter kit covers a stick, shin guards and a mouthguard.
If you can give, thank you. If your business would like to match a few kits, reply to me. Please share this with your network.
