Marblehead H.S. Girls Flag Football team raises $4,011 for Silent Spring Institute

Congratulations and sincere thanks to the wonderful young women on the Marblehead High School Senior Girls Flag Football Team and Coach Jacqui Bouchard for their victory over Swampscott in the 2008 "Power Puff" game!

The game is more than just a popular local tradition and a showcase for team spirit. It has become a tradition for the senior girls on the team to select and raise money for an organization in honor of women. We are delighted that this year they chose to focus on breast cancer and raised $4,011.10 for Silent Spring Institute and our research.

We wish to extend our warmest and most heartfelt appreciation to everyone involved, particularly our friend Judy Luise for introducing our work to Coach Bouchard and the team and, of course, the team members for selecting us to be the recipient of their generous gift. Your team spirit inspires us!
