My personal message:
Are you game to help kids in need? I Am!

Join me and lots of good friends on the Boston Common on Saturday, July 19th for the 2008 Life is good Festival!

I am competing for the coveted title of World's Greatest Backyard Athlete. By sponsoring me in the competition, you are contributing to the Life is good Kid's Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 100% of your donation for this event will go directly to Project Joy, an extraordinary charity whose mission is to use the healing power of play to transform children wounded by trauma into enthusiastic players in the game of life. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated.

In addition to the World's Greatest Backyard Athlete Competition, we'll have amazing live music (R&B phenom Robert Randolph is headlining!), delicious summery foods, and lots of games & sports for kids and adults.

See you there!

Your friend,

Bert Jacobs Chief Executive Optimist Life is good, Inc.
