Kasey Graham Memorial Soccer Game

September 27, 2004...

Please extend our thanks to all the board members of LHGCC for your generous donation to the Kasey Graham Scholarship Fund. Also thank you for all your support and help in allowing us to host these games at UTD and for your assistance in promoting the event through the LHGCC website. It would not have happened without your support.

It is a privilege and honor to be part of a such fine organization as LHGCC.

***************************************

Thank you all for your support of the Kasey Graham Memorial Game. I hope
you, your players and your parents had as good a time as our parents and players.

It is rare when our girls get to play a game just for fun with nothing riding on the outcome, but I think they all enjoyed themselves. The player turnout was great as was the weather. I think we had over 100 D1 and D2 players. Please thank all of your parents for their kind and generous donations. We still have a few t-shirts to sell, but it looks like when everything is complete, we will raise about $5000. That far exceeds any expectations we had for the game.

Again, thanks.

Kasey Graham Memorial Soccer Games

Kasey Graham was a long-time LHGCL player who
played for D'Feeters '90 and was a new player on
Texans Red 90. Kasey and her family were killed in
a private plane crash on Monday, August 2, 2004.

We have made plans to host a soccer game in memory of Kasey with the additional purpose of raising money for the scholarship fund in her name.

Here are the details:

We have secured UTD Field #1 for Sunday, September 26th from 2:00 to 4:30 PM. All Lake Highlands Division 1 teams have responded positively to this plan. Our plan is to divide the girls into an even number of teams of 9 to 11 players. We have asked each D1 teams to bring as many girls (hopefully all) to participate. We will have the girls draw numbers when they arrive. We will not divide the girls by position or teams - it will be strictly random. The girls should bring their white and dark game jerseys. Each team would then play a 15 or 20 minute game (time depends on how many teams we end up with, 8 or 10). These will truly be friendlies and the time will be a celebration for Kasey's memory. No real coaches will be on the sidelines. We think we will have 2 mom's from each division 1 team be the coaches for the teams (total of 10-12 moms - one mom for each team). Any volunteers?!!!

We can not charge admission so funds would be raised by asking for donations at the gate. The donations will be split by the Texans and D'Feeters to fund a scholarship for a graduating player each year for the next 4 years. This will keep Kasey's spirit a part of our teams during the time she would have been participating in club soccer. We are asking the 92 & 94 D'feeters teams to assist us at the gate and also with selling drinks during the games. We are planning on bringing several coolers filled with soda's, Gatorades and water to sell at the game. Please spread the word to anyone that you feel would enjoy coming to the games and supporting the scholarship fund. Our purpose is to raise money for the scholarship fund but much more important is the purpose of drawing together, having a good time as we remember our dear friends, the Graham family.

If you have any questions, please contact Jill Stallard at 817-915-9000.
