Dear Friend,

 

The 3rd Annual Mr. D Golf Outing will take place on Saturday, October 13, 2007.  The event is named for the legendary Philadelphia area basketball coach and first-class humanitarian William “Mr. D” Draper who passed away in 2004.

 

Through this event, we celebrate the outstanding life of Mr. D, and raise money for scholarships in his name that aid area players who demonstrate the admirable characteristics of the late coach and leader. Since we started the fund, 12 exceptional young men have been awarded scholarships. We were also able to place a park bench in honor of Mr. D on the Narberth basketball courts, and created a permanent summer league team in his name.

 

Mr. D was associated with the prestigious Narberth League for more than five decades. Throughout his life, Mr. D gave his time, energy and resources to help young people.  We need your support to carry on the spirit of Mr. D and the ideals that he taught each summer and throughout the year. 

 

If you would like to join us for golf, become a hole or corporate sponsor, or make a donation to the fund, an event brochure is enclosed for details.

 

We are again seeking donations from Philadelphia-area businesses to use as raffle prizes and hope we can count on you to make a contribution in the form of gift certificates, tickets or promotional products.  If you would like to donate raffle items, please send them to my attention at: 242 Hampden Ave.  Narberth, PA  19072.

 

We know that you are asked to do many things for the community, and thank you for considering a donation to this great cause. Please contact me with any questions, and please send me your current e-mail address for updates.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dan Kazanicka
