Solicitation

In order to fund the annual Strath Haven Coach Millard Robinson Memorial scholarship, the Delaware County Football Coaches' Association's Coach Millard Robinson Memorial Award, and the West Chester University award, the Board of Directors set a one-time solicitation goal of $150,000. We launched the drive with $33,000 through the contributions of the Board. Your tax deductible contribution will help us attain our goal and serve to perpetuate Coach Robbie's spirit and the qualities of life he embraced. Please print, fill out and return the contribution form, which can be accessed below, and make this dream possible.

Thank you for your serious consideration of support for this Memorial Fund. Whatever you give will be greatly appreciated as you join us in remembering a very unique and influential man and help continue his dedication to young citizen/athletes.

The goal for Coach's Memorial Fund is $150,000. We are almost half way there - as of early June, we have received contributions close to $75,000. Since we're just "short of the 50-yard line" with a long drive to reach the "end zone," we will do a follow-up mailing. The follow-up is meant to reach those who may have [during the holidays] forgotten or misplaced our correspondence, were never contacted because of incorrect addresses, or just need a little nudge to make that "hand-off."

We are sincerely grateful for all donations, which have ranged from $10 to $10,000. This certainly exemplifies Coach's philosophy - "His sincere interest in every player from a J.V. sub to a first stringer is just one of the wonderful things that can be said about Coach." - 1954 SHS football program.

To those of you who have become contributors, we greatly appreciate your gift and support of our purpose - to perpetuate Coach's name and memory by recognizing citizen/athletes. Since we want this award to be commensurate with Coach's legacy, we would like to see the Fund come closer to its goal before presenting any scholarship awards - this will insure perpetuity of the Coach Millard Robinson Memorial Fund.
