Newtown Victims Fund - from Chris Bishop

In the wake of this terrible tragedy, we are faced with the indecision of not knowing what to do. The lives of so many young people ended far too soon because of some senseless act of violence that nobody will ever begin to understand. We will never be able to wrap our minds around how someone can harm a child. The most important thing at this time is continued prayer for all of those effected.

In a joint effort, we will be collecting donations to send to a Victims fund in Newtown. This joint effort will be through Wallingford Little League, Yalesville Little League, and Wallingford Cardinals Travel Baseball. Being that we all donate so much of our time, effort, and money to help out so many kids, it only felt appropriate to help in some way.

While we will never help these families or the children who survive heal from these scars, we can embrace them and show them our unconditional support and love. I hope that no matter how much or how little you can afford during this holiday season, you can take the time to find something to help these poor people.


We ask that you write a check to one of the three organizations involved and in the memo you please write "Newtown Fund." 100% of the money raised will then be sent in a joint check to the Victims Fund when it is created. You can send checks to myself at PO Box 4036 Yalesville, CT or to Lars Edeen at his office 171 Center Street, Wallingford, CT.

Hug your children tonight and tell them you love them. And Pray. God bless all those families and God bless us all.
