Russell Fever Sweeps School!
Just in case you haven't heard, Russell Wilson '07, quarterback for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, is playing this coming Sunday in the Super Bowl. And Collegiate is ready to Roar for Russell!
Here's how you can show your spirit....
Order a Roar for Russellt-shirt or a 1/4 sheet cake prepared by Ukrop's Homestyle Foods by filling out this form. If you do not have a student account, you can call the Cougar Shop at 741-9768. Collegiate will donate $1,200 to the Seattle Children's Hospital in honor of Russell's relationship with them.
You can Roar LIKE Russell, who has continued our tradition of service with his Seattle Children's Hospital visits, and support our Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU by donating items from their wish list -- new children’s books (for children aged newborn–21 years), children’s DVDs (G and PG rating only, please), activity/coloring books, crayons and stickers. Items may be dropped off at the Cougar Shop, Business Office, in Lower School classrooms, the Middle School front hall and in the Sharp Academic Commons (Toby Desch's office) by 9:30am on Friday.
On Friday, faculty, staff and students may wear Seahawks or Collegiate gear to show their 12th Man spirit.
Participate in the Collegiate vs. Newman Super Bowl Challenge, established by Collegiate's Annual Fund staff and Peyton Manning's alma mater in New Orleans, the Isadore Newman School. The contest is all about number of gifts made, not amount, so please participate in this friendly competition so we can win! Read the rules and make your gift here.
Collegiate invites all Richmonders who are supporting Russell Wilson and the Seahawks to join us in using the hashtag #RoarForRussell as we tweet or Facebook about our community service endeavors on Russell's behalf and share words of excitement and encouragement leading up to Sunday's big game!
