Team Earned Money for A Silver Lining Foundation & Forward 4 Tobi

After the Girls U12 team convinced assistant coach Gina Guzzi to put in pink hair extensions if the girls won an important game, the team realized that hair extensions could be an opportunity to raise money and awareness for women fighting cancer. The team sold pink hair extensions and was able to donate $350 to A Silver Lining Foundation

Empowered by the success of their first philanthropic endeavor, the U12 team decided that they wanted to do more. The girls organized and executed a bake sale at the Glenview Ice Center. That event raised $563, which was donated to Forward 4 Tobi.
