Yesterday we received a very significant, unsolicited, donation from Colleen Earle and John Sutton in support of what we do. Both Colleen and John, as well as their family, have been members of the league family for many years as players and coaches, helping our players learn the joy of being on a team and learning the game we love. In their message with the donation they said “Thanks to you and all the volunteers that make this league run!.” Our heartfelt thanks to them for believing in what we do for the children in the community. You are difference makers and you should be proud of that!
We also want to take this opportunity to thank all of you that have made in memoriam donations, and that have reached out with condolence messages to both Charlie Mignault and the Mignault family, as well as to me and my family on the losses of Charlie’s mother Morrie Anne and my brother George. It means a lot to know you care. You too are all difference makers.
One of my favourite quotes is from the legendary coach of UCLA, John Wooden. He said “You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” Our thanks to Colleen and John, and everyone from the league family that have reached out. You live that quote.
