Friends of Jaclyn

Our team has adopted a little girl through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ). Friends of Jaclyn is a wonderful organization that matches pediatric brain tumor patients with sports teams. The FOJ website explains that the mission of the foundation is to improve the quality of life for pediatric brain tumor patients by forming a deep bond with a sports team. The team becomes a strong, loving, supportive network for the child and her family. You can find out more about Friends of Jaclyn by checking out their website: www.friendsofjaclyn.org.

Our team began corresponding with the newest member of the Yellow Jacket family last week. We are very eager to meet her. Right now she can't be around a lot of people until her immune system gets stronger. So until then, we will keep cheering her on in her battle and hope that she is soon well enough to come to campus :)

FORE!

This past weekend was our annual Women's Basketball R-MC Golf Open & Season Kickoff. We had a great turnout. I enjoyed seeing some folks who I haven't seen since the end of last season. Over 70 people joined us for lunch and the drawing of door prizes. Coach LaHaye spoke a bit about the upcoming season. We are very excited to get started. Only 22 days until the first day of practice! After lunch, 56 golfers took to the course. It was a great day for golf and everyone seemed to have a great time. Thanks to everyone who participated! I'll post some pictures soon.

Busy Weekend

It was a busy Saturday here at Randolph-Macon with men's and women's soccer, field hockey and football all playing home games. Many of our players were out and about on campus cheering on their fellow Yellow Jackets. Some even made the rounds; heading over to the field hockey and soccer games after the conclusion of the football game. It was a great day to be outside.
