Paxon Paddlers "Rowing for Dave"! The faculty and staff of the Paxon Hollow Middle School will be participating in the seventh Annual Dragon Boat Race in Fairmont Park on October 4, 2008.
This is a fundraising event for charities selected by the individual teams. For more information on the Dragon Boat Festival, visit the following website, http://philadragonboatfestival.com
The Paxon Paddlers will be "Rowing for Dave” for the second year. Mr. Dave Covell was a physical education teacher at Paxon Hollow who was seriously injured when he was struck by a car while riding his bike to school on January 2, 2007. Dave was in training for a marathon race and was an accomplished athlete. The accident has left Dave in serious condition and he continues working extremely hard toward recovery. Dave was a member of the rowing team in 2006 and they would like to continue to help him receive the acute care that he needs. Dave now lives at home after a lengthy stay at Bryn Mawr Rehab.
Please help raise funds so that Dave can receive the care that he needs to continue his rehabilitation.
The Paxon Paddlers are offering sponsorship spots for this event. Donations of $200.00 or more will be displayed on their team shirts. Every donation is important to their cause.
Please make checks payable to: Paxon Hollow PTO. Donations are tax deductible. The Paxon Paddlers thank you for your time and support of this worthwhile cause!
