Cornell Field Hockey Association is gearing up to watch Cornell's very own Kevin Boothe ('06) make another primetime appearance at this Sunday's 2012 SuperBowl. Kevin plays for the NY Giants, but his roots stem from sunny Schoellkopf Field where years ago ESPN called him a guy to watch.... And watch we will. This Sunday when the NY Giants take on the New England Patriots! Check out this great article from Syracuse.com talking about Kevin Boothe and Cornell Football Coach, Dave Archer: The Big Red is overflowing with pride as Big Blue's Kevin Boothe makes his return to the Super Bowl

Kevin - The Cornell Field Hockey Association wishes you well this weekend. Go BIG RED!!!

Congrats Cornell Field Hockey! Phon-a-thon Success!!

Congrats to the Cornell Field Hockey players and coaching staff for a HIGHLY successful phon-a-thon last night!! The team and coaches started calling alumni, family and friends of the program at 7PM EST in hopes of raising money to help the team travel, eat together, buy new sticks, cleats, and uniforms and maintain a highly competitive Ivy League program. The team did even better than expected and surpassed their fundraising goal!!!! A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE A DONATION!!! 

The letter below comes from Head Coach, Donna Hornibrook:

"Dear Cornell Field Hockey Alumni and friends,

I am writing to update you and thank you for helping make last night's Annual Phon-a-thon a huge success on many levels.  The coaches and team are blown away by your support! There were a lot of smiling faces in the room last night and your support is a major source of encouragement to us all! We are not finished yet as any additional funds raised will stay with the program and not only help us run a first class program by helping cover our annual operating expenses such as travel and recruiting but also allow us to use excess funds raised to "enhance" the program. This permits us to do some things which we would otherwise not be able to do. As a coach I cannot fully express how great that feels to have our program in that situation.

Thanks again! Go Big Red!

Best Regards- Donna"

Cornell Phon-a-thon February 1st @ 7PM. Please Donate!

Your friendly Cornell Field Hockey Alumni Association is writing to ask you to donate to Cornell Field Hockey today Wednesday, February 1st, 2012, when the current team conducts their annual Phon-a-thon.

 

We are off to a great start so THANKS to all who have already contributed.

 

The Phon-a-thon is one of the most important ways that the Cornell Field Hockey team builds their budget for the year; this budget helps buy equipment, pay for travel and meal expenses, and maintains a competitive program. 

 

As an alumna, if you think back to all the games you played, the bus trips north and south, the flights to California, the wet weather gear that kept you warm, the new stick or cleats you were given, the pre-game meals at RPU, Statler, and Lucatelli's...These were all made possible through donations to the program. 

 

And if you are a parent or a friend of the program, you were likely there at these games, watching us in our wet weather gear and RED uniforms, cheering us on...Your support over the years have helped make Cornell Field Hockey a wonderful place to be a female NCAA athlete.

 

By donating this year, you not only will be continuing a tradition of competitive field hockey and women's athletics, but most importantly, you will be ensuring that the current Cornell players and their families have the same memorable experiences that you have had as a member of the Cornell Field Hockey family. 

 

The players will be calling between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM EST on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012. Please chat with the current players, wish them well in their preparation for next season, and consider donating to Cornell Field Hockey!

 

If you are unavailable during the Wednesday time, but you would still like to make a donation or pledge, please email Coach Donna Hornibrook with the amount you would like to contribute. Coach Hornibrook will then send you the appropriate paper work in the mail. Also, if you haven't received a call in the past, but would like to be on the list, please email Coach Hornibrook with your contact information. Please email her at: djh57@cornell.edu 

 

Every little bit helps the program, whether it's a donation or words of encouragement, so please pick up the phone on Wednesday or email Coach Hornibrook today!
