Usually a bald hooker is that LAST thing a sick kid needs...

Dain's wife, Jen, asked that we get this info out to the team (and beyond). Please help out by making a donation and/or passing the link around to friends and family:

Dain is participating in St. Baldrick's at the tournament in NYC to raise money for children's cancer research. He'll be getting his head shaved on the field at 3pm. People can donate online to sponsor him and this event. There are several people from other teams doing this as well.

Click below to support Dain, and show the West Pot spirit of charity. I promise to take pictures and share with all!

Thanks for considering!

Cheers,

Jen
