CDs-
As some of you know, Caitlin Scannell, a Riptide 17s player who had also been with Club Breakout, was killed in a car accident last weekend with two other of her classmates; six survived the accident.
This year for the Badger Region Championships, instead of doing Dig Pink for breast cancer, we're going to do Dig for Caitlin to raise money for the memorial scholarship fund that her brother has set up with the money he was saving to help put her through college. Since Caitlin was a libero and her favorite color was pink, it's only fitting. I know this story has touched many of you and I hope that you will help in this endeavor. We're also collecting words of encouragement for the family and her teammates to let them know that they're not in this alone.
Here's a blog post that covers a lot of what's going on. http://brvolleyblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/caitlin-scannell-memorial-scholarship.html
More details will be forthcoming about Dig for Caitlin, but I ask that everyone on both Sunday's wear pink and between now and then raise funds. The pledge form is in the blog. It's my hope that on Sunday, April 1, we can introduce the Riptide 17 White team that Caitlin was a member of, and let everyone know how much has been raised for Riptide to donate.
