Fighting the Good Fight

I was in Cary, NC visiting our friends and clients at the V Foundation last week and Joyce Aschenbrenner, one of the ladies that tries to keep Nick Valvano in line, told me, "Anyone can be affected by cancer...and everyone can help." I was blown away to hear about the new Show Your Spirit campaign ~ a company, school or organization of ANY size can pitch in with each person participating contributing only FIVE bucks! It all adds up.

Check out http://www.jimmyv.org/showspirit/ for the scoop and get signed up today. Employees pitch in five dollars and can wear garb from their favorite school on a designated day. Most groups are doing March 20/21-the first two days of the NCAA first round games but you can push it back a week or so if you need to. Congrats to the Winthrop Eagles, by the way, for jumping into the Big Dance again!

Just to get you in the mood, our staff selected - at random - the photo (upper right) from a recent college hoops game...oh, look, it's UNC's Danny Green dunking on ("posterizing" is the official term, I believe) Duke's Greg Paulus. Oh well, it was all in fun, I'm sure. Go ahead and CLICK HERE if you feel like you need to see a video version to really get in the Spirit.
