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"
