Approaching Year Five

We have seen the shirt colors change from white to purple to black to green to navy/orange and are starting to grasp that four years have passed since Ben Potter and myself sat at Piedmont High School and created this holiday. The last Friday in April has truly become a joy for all of us involved in IJGIAD.

This year will be no exception. On April 25, 2008, we will proudly wear our t-shirts for the fifth straight year. Discussions of t-shirt designs and colors are currently underway. By all means, this can be an open discussion: we welcome any and all suggestions/ ideas about t-shirt colors and designs. Most of what makes this holiday so great is the involvement and generosity of YOU.

We don't yet have an official International Jungle Gym Injury Awareness Day email domain; but you are welcome to email me (plea2@elon.edu) with questions or concerns. We will certainly keep you posted on all the exciting news about the upcoming holiday, including pre-order dates and benefit concert information. Until then, feel free to check out holiday information from our Facebook page at http://elon.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2222651458. Also, you may get more information on our benefactor, St. Jude Children's Hospital at www.stjude.org.

Thanks! Take care!
