August 20, 2016  
Vermont's Semi Pro football team, the Ravens, will be playing at the BFA Fairfax football field.
All money raised will benefit Delaney Sweet-Werneke.
The game starts at 4:30!

Karrie Sweet and Bill Werneke's daughter Delaney was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer).  Delaney will need at least 30 weeks of intensive chemotherapy beginning immediately, and they expect her to be hospitalized with every treatment for at least 3-4 days at a time.

This will be a very, very long hard year for them for sure.  Bill works each year in Alaska from May - mid October, and for obvious reasons cannot go this year.  We have set up a fund to help the family offset this financial hardship of Bill not being able to work in Alaska so he can be here with Delaney.

Please Donate!! #DSWStrong

Delaney Sweet-Werneke is part of our JOAD family, lets show the Sweet-Werneke family our support and help them in their time of need.  Please donate!
