Warriors for Wesley Benefit
Overview:
Together, let's celebrate the miraculous AVM journey Wesley Ulrich has come through. Ten year old Wesley experienced a life threatening brain bleed back in May while up north with him family. He was airlifted to the hospital in Madison where he underwent emergency brain surgery followed by a second brain surgery several weeks later. Wesley will continue fighting with intense therapy schedules to overcome challenges with speech, mobility, memory and strength! #warriorsforwesley
Join us on Sunday, September 7th as we provide additional support for this community event. Please note there are two different time slots available - you'll be asked to select a shift while registering (feel free to register twice if your family would like to volunteer for both shifts).
What to expect:
This public, family-friendly event will be fun for all ages—including the Hits for Wesley: Home Run Derby—all in honor of Wesley and his inspiring journey of healing.
**More info to come on the Home Run Derby for all of you baseball fans young and old**
Every dollar raised goes directly toward Wesley’s ongoing recovery: his therapies, his strength, and his fight.
Sunbeam Kids will lend a little hand running games, booths, setting up, helping with the raffle, etc. To ensure everything runs smoothly, each family will be responsible for overseeing a specific area of the benefit (for example: the dunk tank, merchandise table, bounce house, set up, etc.). We'll make sure all activities are covered and make the event a success.
Your family is welcome to come early or stay after your shift to participate in the activities!
Capacity & Age Recommendations:
We have open capacity for this event, and registration will be open to both members and guests right away. All ages are welcome!
What to bring:
You don't need to bring anything - any needed supplies will be provided.
What to wear:
Sunbeam shirts or red shirts if possible (Red is Wesley's favorite color!).
Location/Parking info:

Additional information:
There are two time slots available for this project- you're welcome to register for either or both (just register twice, once for each shift, in that case). Shift one will be 12:00-2:00 pm and shift two will be 1:30-4:00 pm.

Project Leader: Melissa Bushman
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
This project is open to members* and guests. Please only sign up if you know you can attend. We understand illness and emergencies do come up but they are counting on our hands, so if you register and can no longer attend, please let us know ASAP so we can work to fill your spot.
Thank you to our Project Leader Melissa Bushman for leading this project, and thank YOU for lending a little hand!

*While we rely on member donations to keep the good work going, we never want the $40/family/year to be a hurdle to volunteering with us. If you are in need of assistance, we do have a limited number of scholarships available that are 100% confidential, just email and ask!
