π BAND-AIDS FOR BRAVERY π
This month, Excel Athletics is coming together for something much bigger than cheer. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and weβre asking our Excel families to help us bring a little extra comfort, courage, and FUN to kids fighting battles no child should ever have to face.
We are partnering with Whipping Childhood Cancer to collect fun, colorful and character Band-Aids for children receiving cancer treatment in our local hospitals. Something as simple as picking out a superhero, princess, animal, or colorful Band-Aid can make a scary moment just a little easier. π
Our collection ends September 21, so we need our Excel families to help us finish STRONG! Grab a few boxes while youβre out this week and drop them off at the gym. Every box counts, and we would LOVE to see our donation pile overflowing!
π AND NEXT WEEK β WE WEAR GOLD! π
Weβre asking our athletes, coaches, and families to wear GOLD to the gym next week in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness. Gold represents the strength, courage, and resilience of children fighting cancer.
Small Band-Aids. BIG bravery.
Together, our Excel family can show these kids that their community is fighting right alongside them. ππ
