On Thursday, when you are sitting with your families at home… take just one moment to look back at these short few weeks and what you have accomplished. A few young men had an idea, and it struck the heart of a nation. You’ve tackled a disease that claims a man every 19 minutes and declared war.

Having said that, the week is not over. And let’s cut to the chase… if you have a big fat $0 next to your name, this is your chance to step out from the shadows and help your team to victory. Each week, we’ve awarded an individual fundraiser with something cool. This week, we’re offering the entire package: custom Oakleys, a pair of Newton Running shoes AND a free round trip ticket anywhere JetBlue flies… for anyone who raises a minimum of $1000 between Friday, 5pm EST, November 20th and the end of the event.

Anything can happen in the Fourth Quarter. Surprise us. Surprise yourselves.

Steele Stanwick of UVa Men’s Lacrosse is one of hundreds of talented collegiate lacrosse players who, just one short week ago, used to have a respectable clean shave.
