Everyone loves sweatpants, right?
This is from Alison's cousin, who is a Junior at Brandeis and on the swimming team. He sent this to his family and friends, I am doing the same:
Dear friends and family,
I hope you are all well. I apologize for sending out this mass-letter, but this is a certain case in which I need your help. As you know, I am very involved on my swim team at Brandeis. Swimming has been a major passion of mine throughout my life, and the Brandeis team has been like a family to me for the past 4 years. I owe a great deal of who I am today to what I have learned from my coaches and teammates.
However, you are probably also aware that the team is in serious trouble. We don't have a working pool to train in and we are slated for suspension at the end of the 09-10 season. We have been working hard to raise money so that the team can continue. We recently got a deal with a fundraising company in which we could buy great quality clothes and sell them at an inexpensive price. If you take a look at the attachment, you'll probably find something you'll like, or can give as a gift to someone else. The directions to order are on the form, and the whole process takes about 2 minutes. The clothes will ship to you for free in about 3 weeks.
I am only asking this of you because I truly believe the Brandeis program is more than a college sport; it teaches student-athletes important values and produces outstanding citizens. It has been a tradition that has lived on for 42 years and affected the lives of hundreds.
After you do purchase something, please send me a quick email so I can write you a more personal thank-you. I really appreciate all of your help,
Jesse
