Hey everyone,
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend.
I have always been proud of our local ultimate community and believe that we have a wonderfully supportive group of individuals who are passionate about fostering Spirit of the Game not only on the field, but in our lives. With that in mind, I wanted to channel that passion and provide a cause that we can all support (among the many valuable and important causes out there).
I encourage everyone to consider donating blood if you are able to do so. This simple service can help to save lives, and collectively we have a chance to make a significant impact. I have worked with
Hoxworth Blood Centers to setup a group donation effort and hope that CUPA can demonstrate just how amazing our ultimate community is. If you are able to participate, simply provide the group ID of
B880 when you register/schedule your appointment and your donations will be counted towards CUPA's total. There are many
donation centers around the area and Hoxworth is very helpful if you have any questions about the process. Don't hesitate to contact them and they'll be happy to help.
For now, my goal is to simply get this effort in motion. Please help to spread the word within your teams, leagues, or any other contacts that you believe would be willing to help. I'm also considering coordinating a specific blood drive date/location in the future, but wanted to start with a simple group ID to start so that everyone could coordinate within their respective schedules/locations.
Thanks again to everyone for always representing our community and organization in such a great way. I'm excited for this new opportunity to work together to support the community around us! Have a wonderful week and I'll see you around soon!
Thanks,
Ryan Gorman
President, CUPA Board of Directors
