teammac

The members of teammac generously have started a fund to help our teammates who currently cannot afford dues and race expenses.  You may contribute to the fund through paypal to macmiler@aol.com or add $5 per month to teammac dues.

The next fundraising event will be a bagel tailgate party after the Austin Marathon.  Bring your piggy bank of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters to Coach Mac or Lauren and celebrate the end of a fun and glorified training run at teammac’s annual participation in our city’s marathon.

Also, at the end of February/beginning of March timeframe look for a HUGE teammac garage sale.  Start setting things aside now, and we will keep you informed as to the specifics.  Proceeds from the sale should put the fund in a great position to start the year.  That weekend we will probably hold the sale on a Saturday and do our long run on Sunday.

To be a recipient of the scholarship funds you must have been a member of teammac for the previous 6 consecutive months, and the scholarship committee will take a look at each applicant who meets that criteria and shows a dedication and commitment to the team.  You can apply directly to Coach Mac as an exception, if you do not meet the criteria for the committee’s consideration.  Either way, send a message to coach@teammac.com requesting consideration as a fund recipient.

A portion of the donations will go to help fight breast cancer.  This issue, which impacts so many families, is near and dear to teammac, as Aaron lost his sister Tanya to the disease.  Thank you teammac for giving to this worthy cause.
