Quarterly e-Newsletter from the Shane Victorino Foundation                         SUMMER 2013

Message from Shane and Melissa 

 

shane and melissaAs we enter fall, we're excited to share what we've been up to this summer. We are so thankful for the warm welcome we received in Boston and are grateful to be a part of such an amazing team! We also feel incredibly blessed by the support and well wishes we continue to receive from those of you in Philadelphia, Nevada, Hawaii and across the country.

 

This summer, we have been fortunate to meet and host close to 150 young people at a Red Sox game, through our Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars program. It's such a joy for us to be able to give them this experience. This program has touched the lives of more than 650 children over the past four seasons!

 

In two short months, we will mark our 6th annual Celebrity Dinner & Golf Classic on Maui! We have a fantastic weekend planned and look forward to celebrating with our friends, sponsors and supporters. Even if you're unable to join us in person, there are other ways you can be a part of the event - please see our Events section below for details.

 

This December, we also look forward to our annual Las Vegas toy drive, so keep checking our website, Facebook and Twitter for details.

 

Thank you for believing in our mission and working with us to change the lives of children in need!


Aloha,


Melissa and Shane Victorino 

OUR WORK
 
2013 Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars
This season, our Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars program provided a special opportunity for close to 150 children in Boston!
  
Groups from the Jr. RBI League, Boston Children's Hospital, Boy Scouts' ScoutReach, Best Buddies MA, Boys & Girls Club of Boston and the Maui Upcountry Baseball Club have joined us for a game, received concessions and program T-shirts, but the best part of their day was meeting Shane during batting practice. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of the youth and definitely a day they will always remember!
  
SVF Tuition Assistance Fund 
In June, the first recipients of the Shane Victorino Foundation Scholarship at St. Anthony School (Shane's alma mater) were awarded. SVF established the fund to provide tuition assistance to student-athletes at the school who display sportsmanship, dedication and commitment to achieving academic as well as athletic excellence, maintaining a GPA of 3.0.

Micah Leval and Grayson Nolette were each presented with a $1,500 scholarship - pictured above with Joycelyn Victorino, Shane's mother and an alumnus of St. Anthony.

Donor Spotlight - Kampus Klothes

Kampus Klothes has generously provided the t-shirts for our Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars program, as well as all the embroidery for our fundraising events, over the past few years. The support of in-kind donors like Kampus Klothes is essential to our success!  They help us to keep our expenses down, while allowing us to direct more resources to children in need. We thank them for all that they do!
