Guinness World Record

This Thursday yours truly will not be at the fields because I'll be off getting ready to participate in an amazing event. WAKA Kickball will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest kickball game in Naugatuck, CT. The current record is held by a high school in Ohio at 51 hours. We hope to smash that record.

This event isn't just for the honor of holding a world record. It is an excuse to help raise money for a great cause. WAKA has teamed up with Cure Search and Kick-It for this event to raise funds to help find a cure for children's cancer. Our original goal was to raise $20,000 but as of today we have already raised over $32,000 and now we hope to hit the $35k mark.

This is no small undertaking and we have the full support of the town with many businesses making donations to keep the players going. I'm sure there will be lots of need for that Dunkin Donuts coffee that will be handed out. I will be there to help out and act as an official witness but the players are amazing. They will be playing for as many innings as they can starting early Friday morning and running on through to Friday evening. If the weather holds and we can break the record, expect to see us on ESPN's top 10.

You can be a part of this too. Help me and donate today to help us fight for the kids. Also feel free to call me during the event to talk to some of the players on the sidelines to offer them some words of encouragement. They will need all of the support they can get as they battle through the fatigue to help out a great cause.
