DOVE 2012
Determined to Oppose Violence Everywhere!
12-Hour Marathon Charity Lacrosse Game
Starting Friday June 8 at 7:00 pm

I NEED YOUR HELP!!
It is a sad but interesting fact that few Canadians know that our first national sport originated from an aboriginal game played hundreds of years before Canada became a nation. Aurora Masters Lacrosse is one of many groups promoting this sport and its virtues, with the added focus of reaching out to those most in need in our community. A little over five years ago, we decided to capture the community’s attention by promoting violence awareness and prevention through the paradox of the game of lacrosse. As a result, we formed a campaign called DOVE, which stands for Determined to Oppose Violence Everywhere.
DOVE 2012 is our fifth full scale campaign! In fact, during our first campaign (DOVE 2008), we challenged other lacrosse groups to get involved in their communities, and this challenge was answered by the organization Truly Lacrosse Cares, which raised over $29,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation in April 2009. DOVE 2012 hopes to exceed both last years amount of funds generated and awareness raised (spreading the message) for both the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness (www.abusehurts.com) and the Spirit of the Stick (www.spiritofthestick.com) organizations. Both non-profit community organizations attempt to rebuild, empower, and protect individuals and their communities from the ravages of abuse, neglect, and violence.
We applaud their tireless determination to ensure no one is left feeling isolated, alone, or without hope. DOVE 2012 is our commitment to ensure that these organizations will continue to work until there is no further need for their services.
This year I will be participating in the entire 12-hour game. My hope is to continue to raise awareness and second to raise $400.00 in sponsorship/donations for this great cause that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of for the past five years.
If you are interested in helping me reach this goal please feel free to contact me. I have provided my contact information below. If you donate $20 or more you will receive a tax receipt for that donation. Even if you live out of town send me an email or give me a call we can discuss.
Again your help is greatly appreciated and it’s going towards a great cause.
Cheers!
