Williams College Field Hockey Goes for the Goal... for Elizabeth's Hope

LET’S MAKE THE WINNING GOAL…TOGETHER!


Williams College AthleticsGo Ephs! The Williams College field hockey team is dedicating its 2012 season to Elizabeth Minter and raising money for Elizabeth's Hope. Now you can sponsor the season -- to raise much-needed funds for brain tumor research.

Thanks to our per-goal supporters!

The Ephs scored two goals against Colby last weekend - that's 22 goals so far this season! We've received $159.50 in pledges per goal, which brings the total to over $3500.00! If the Ephs reach 30 goals, that means almost $5000 toward crucial research to find a cure for rare pediatric brain cancers.
If you'd like to join in this event, you can email your pledge amount to info@elizabethshope.com and we'll add you to our list of supporters.

DONATIONS: Thanks very much to those who have made one-time donations to support the Ephs in their quest to score big for Elizabeth's Hope.

Click here now to make a one-time donation.

Here's how it works: Friends and supporters pledge a dollar amount for each goal the Ephs score this season. (The team scored 26 goals total last season, and they're reaching for 30 this year!) Email your pledge amount to info@elizabethshope.com and we'll add you to our list of supporters. Then, every time the team scores a goal, you and your fellow supporters challk up another donation to Elizabeth's Hope. We'll keep track of the goals and the pledges here at ElizabethsHope.com, and at the end of the season we'll let you know your total. When it's time to pay your pledged amount, you can make your gift online at this special page: Williams College Ephs Go for the Goal!

It's easy! If the Ephs rack up 30 goals this season, those who pledged a dollar a goal will donate $30. Donors who pledge $5 a goal will donate $150. You can pledge any amount per goal (we'll do all the math for you).

If you'd rather not pledge per goal but would prefer to make a general donation in support of the team, you can click here now to make a one-time donation.

The ultimate winning goal is this: to bring hope to the hundreds of patients and families each year who confront the heartbreaking diagnoses of gliomatosis cerebri, DIPG, AT/RT, and other rare brain tumors that strike children and young adults. Because they are so rare, these inoperable tumors simply do not get the funding or attention that research scientists need to find a cure.
