FROM OUR FRIENDS AT KASYN CARES: A MESSAGE FROM PAIGE GRANTHAM AND THE UGA COACH'S WIVES

I think that by now everyone in the Bulldog Nation knows that for over a year now, our UGA Football Coaches Wives have been actively engaged in the fight against childhood cancer.  It hit close to home with our Bulldog Family, when our own little Kasyn Olivadotti was diagnosed with leukemia.  Thankfully, she’s in remission now, but this devastating disease continues to kill more of our kids than any other – each year one in every 250 children will be diagnosed with cancer.  That’s unthinkable and we’re committed to doing something about it.  Most of y’all know that the wives have established The Kasyn Cares Fund to benefit pediatric cancer research at the Aflac Cancer Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  Over the last year, we’re proud to announce that – WITH YOUR HELP – we’ve generated well over $100,000 through our series of events around the calendar.  We’ve got another one coming up right now that we think is the best one yet!!!!!

On Saturday, April 6, the UGA Coaches Wives will be hosting their second annual “LUNCH WITH THE LEGENDS” VIP Tailgate from 10AM – 12:30PM at Legion Field prior to the G-Day Game.  The theme for this year’s event is Legendary UGA Quarterbacks.  We will have 200 special edition Nike UGA footballs with the autographs of Georgia’s legendary QBs from over the last 50 years.  We have been overwhelmed with the response from our former field generals.  To date, we have secured commitments from and over the next two weeks will be getting the autographs of the following legends:  Kirby Moore, Mike Cavan, Andy Johnson, Ray Goff, Buck Belue, John Lastinger, Eric Zeier, Mike Bobo, David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford, and Aaron Murray.  We will update you daily as these autographs are secured.  The Atlanta area QBs (Zeier, Greene, Shockley, Belue, Stafford + Moore) will be signing at CHOA offices over the next 10 days.  The Athens area QBs (Goff, Cavan, Johnson, Bobo, Murray + Lastinger) are scheduled to sign them at the Butts Mehre building on Wednesday, 4/3. 

Right now, I’m pretty sure that no Bulldog anywhere has a football with the autographs of all of these legendary UGA QBs.  Unless you purchase one of these 200 keepsakes . . . chances are pretty good you never will. 

Here’s the deal:  Anyone who purchases one of these limited edition footballs for only $200 will receive an invitation for two to the UGA Coaches Wives “Lunch with the Legends”.  In addition to the wives, we’ll have some of these legendary QBs and other former players in attendance at this event catered by Chick-fil-a and emceed by another UGA legend – Chuck Dowdle.  Gates will open at 10AM and wrap up at 12:30PM, in time to be in your seats for the opening kickoff.  We’ll have the balls on hand to pick up at the tailgate, when you check in.  If you can’t make it to the lunch, let us know and we’ll mail your ball to you on Monday, 4/8.
