MY NAME IS TODD FAIRBOURNE AND I AM THE HEAD SOFTBALL COACH AT UVU. I WANT TO INVITE ALL TO ATTEND OUR DOUBLEHEADER VERSUS UTAH ON TUESDAY, APRIL 21ST AT 2:30 PM.

WE HAVE DESIGNATED THE GAMES AS OUR JASON'S DELI "SWING FOR LIFE" GAMES (MANY THANKS TO JASON'S DELI FOR SPONSORSING THIS EVENT).

THE DAY'S EVENTS WILL BE USED TO RAISE MONEY FOR BREAST CANCER CURE AND PREVENTION.
