Benefit:
10th Annual Roy D. Groome
VMA -- VCU Basketball For Massey Cancer
posted 01/22/2009
|
For the ninth year, the Virginia Moose Association will host the VMA
night for VCU Basketball to benefit The Massey Cancer Center. Last
year this program raised $5,000.00. Over the 10 years since Roy
planted the seed that started this program the Virginia Moose
Association has raised over $31,000.00 for Massey Cancer. Our Goal
is to raise $5,000.00 as we did last year and of course, we are wishing
for a little increase. Dig deep guys, this is for Massey Cancer.
On Wednesday, February 11th, 2009, we will be hosting the game between
VCU and James Madison University. As an avid VCU Ram Basketball
Fan, I am expecting a great year for our team. This year VCU is
picked to be first in the CAA Conference. Game time is 7:30 P.M.
at the Siegel Center in Richmond. Tickets will be $10.00 each with
$5.00 per ticket going to The Massey Cancer Center. These are $12.00
tickets.
The proceeds will again this year, be donated in honor
of our late brother, Roy D. Groome, Sr. Roy was very involved in
the VMA’s efforts to support the invaluable research being done at The
Massey Cancer Research Center. We would like for each Lodge,
Chapter and/or Moose Legion Committee to hopefully purchase fifty (50)
tickets, or whatever number of tickets you feel comfortable with.
Please contact any of the Committee Members listed below for your
tickets. Make your checks payable to VMA Massey Cancer. This
will be a very special evening for the Virginia Moose Association,
Virginia Commonwealth University, The Massey Cancer Center and the
Groome family.
We are sincerely hoping to fill the stands and anyone
who would like to purchase tickets and are not able to attend; we have a
perfect solution. They can be donated to a youth organization.
One of their own choosing or VCU has a wonderful program for kids called
“The Rams Assisting Youth Program”, (THE RAY PROGRAM), which plays right
into the Community Service goal of our lodges and chapters. This
provides an opportunity for the youth in our area to attend a VCU Men’s
Basketball Game, free of charge. Any Lodge, Moose Legion Committee or
Chapter who purchases tickets and would like to send them to one of
these Community Outreach Youth Organizations would be acknowledged at
the game. They will also receive a letter from the sponsored group
showing their appreciation and acknowledging their community service
support. Please be sure the tickets you wish to donate are
sent to Carol Groome, Honorary Co-Chairman, c/o Sandston Lodge # 1937,
4505 Oakley’s Lane, Richmond, VA 23231, as soon as possible or at least
two weeks prior to the game for distribution. Last year many kids
were sponsored by the VMA through the RAY Program. There could be
no better tribute to Roy Groome then to make this night at VCU another
Moose success, thus supporting two of his passions, The Massey Cancer
Research Center and the Moose Community Service Program.
