Blazer Ball Pictures: Page 2 VSU FCA VSU FCA Page 3 Athletes Give Back: Fundraising BBQ Dinner We recently heard of a need in one of our coach’s lives. Upon hearing that his wife’s cancer came back, we felt the need to support them in some tangible way. We set up an account at a local bank to allow people to make donations towards her medical expenses. We also hosted a fundraising barbeque dinner at a home baseball game to allow the community to give to the coach while supporting our Blazers. Supporters that purchased a plate were given free admission to the game. Anyone wanting to donate to her account, can go to Citizen’s Community Bank on Baytree Road and ask to deposit to “Donations for Ami Guilliams.” It Started with an FCA Bible A female athlete recently came to the FCA house with questions about God and His word. Leslie McGhin, VSU Campus Director, spoke with her and offered her a Bible to take home. A couple of months later the young woman gave her heart to the Lord and let Leslie know. Immediately after, she wanted to start growing in God’s word, and she and Leslie setup a weekly discipleship time. It’s been amazing to see God’s work in her life! VSU FCA VSU FCA 304 Baytree Rd.
