A few words from Mark Schwartz:

Hi everyone,

By now many of you are aware that Waldwick High School soccer player Michael Mayer passed last week. Michael was an accomplished student-athlete at Waldwick and his long fight against cancer was equally inspiring and heart-rending. It's sad news to know that he's no longer out there playing with his Waldwick friends.

Last year, in an effort to support his fight, the Waldwick Senior Men's Club played a friendly match against the Waldwick High School Team. We brought in supporters, sponsors, and press coverage from the area and wound up raising close to $2,500 for the Tomorrow's Children Fund through the Hackensack University Medical Center.

This year we'd like to repeat the game in Michael's honor and we're turning to you for help. Your donation is very much appreciated, but I'd also like for you to ask your employers, friends, neighbors and other networks to donate as well. Our goal is an aggressive one - we'd like to raise $10,000 this year, with the funds donated directly to a charity of the Mayer Family's choosing.

We are working hard in an effort to schedule a new game within the month. We are initially offering playing slots to those that bring in donations of at least $100 from their community. After that, we will open the game up to the larger group on a first come first serve basis.

To start things off, I've convinced my firm to pledge $1,000 towards the Michael Mayer fund. I challenge you to join me in achieving our goal and continuing the fight against cancer.

Please bring a check payable to Waldwick Senior Soccer to one of our Sunday matches, or let me know where I can come pick it up. If you have any questions, please 'reply all' to this email.

Warm Regards,
M.
