I got the following email yesterday at my work address. I don't know where they got it from because it had changed in the past year.
Anyway I wanted to pass this on. This is a good draft party from what I understand and for a good cause. There are several Patriots players there and it is an event that you can bring the kids,
Hello everyone after getting some much needed rest from a long fought season that ended way to early, it is time for me to start once again focusing my efforts on something e very important to me. As many of you know I lost my father to diabetes when he was only 48 years old. Since I have started my journey into the NFL I also began my journey to help find a cure and help others with diabetes. As I enter my 6th year in the NFL I am so proud to say that I am also entering my 6 year of fundraising. Last year was such a blessing and we were able to raise over 100 thousand dollars that went directly to the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) in Miami Fl. This year I have started the Vince Wilfork Foundation in an effort to support DRI and other organizations in their efforts to win this battle over diabetes. It seems like everyone I talk to has been effected one way or another by this disease. By coming together we can make a difference. I know that times are hard right now and that is the case for everyone but for me as a person who does not have diabetes I can only imagine what times are like for someone who does. As many of you know Pinz in Milford has become the official home of the Vince Wilfork Draft Day Fundraiser and once again this great establishment has opened their doors to all of us. It is my hope that you will join me in this fight. Please log on to www.pinzbowl.com for ticket and event information. If you are unable to attend but would like to contribute in another way please send me a email. As many of you know I answer all of my email myself. If you do nothing more than send your well wishes and forward this email on to others who may help, you have also helped. Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you or hearing from you soon.
