Congratulations to Head Coach
Brandon Elliott and the VWC Marlins Softball Team for raising $17,406 for the
American Cancer Society through their 2016 Strike Out Cancer event held
annually on our campus in honor of Coach Elliott’s mother, Elaine Sears.
Proceeds from food sales, an impressive silent auction and other gifts contributed
to this overwhelming total which sets a new record for this event.
In addition, the VWC
Softball Team took part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of
Virginia Beach on June 3, helping to raise more than $283,000. As most of you
know, Relay For Life is a community-based, volunteer-driven event that honors
survivors and caregivers, remembers those lost to the disease, and fights for a
world with more birthdays.
The Marlins will host their Strike Out Cancer Game for
the 2017 season on April 8 at Virginia Wesleyan College. You can contact Brandon
at belliott@vwc.edu to get involved and for more
information. Special thanks to Brandon for all he does to support others in our
community.
