System Baseball Car Wash Fund Raiser

Early this Saturday morning, at about 8 am, The System's baseball parents met with coach Rodriguez and myself to set up for our first car wash fund raiser. We started by making signs requesting $5 donations to help send our team to the World Series, hooking up hoses to the oil change center that was very generous and allowed us to share their space... getting the soap and towels ready, etc.

We started off not knowing what to expect as our players would be preparing for a baseball game at this exact time and we were unsure of the exact amount of help that we would have. Not surprisingly The System family came together with the help of the mom's, dad's, sisters and friends to get the car wash started. Before Noon we had many cars lining up for our wash. Family members also made burritos to sell with refreshments. Coach Rodriguez cancelled the second game so that he and the players could meet us and help for the second half of the car wash. We all worked as a team; worked hard washing, had many laughs, enjoyed some interesting dance moves from coach... and, even with the competition on "the corner" from a 2 year regular (lol) The System baseball came out on top for the day.

I would like to thank all those that came out to help for this successful day and look forward to the 2nd fund raiser (casino bus trip)  that will be held tomorrow.

Coach's comment of the day: "Never say you can't. Trust it."
