Students at Quinnipiac University are getting athletes from around the world to help your Newtown community by donating any jersey to auction off honoring one of the victims of the capturing at Sandy Hook Primary School on Dec. Fourteen.
Dave Clarke, the coach, features gathered shirts from the You.S. National Team and Celtic from the Scottish Premier League, among others from all across the world. They will be employed in an auction in honor of Rachel D’Avino, a teacher that died in the shooting along with the cousin of one of Clarke's past team captains.
All the t shirts sent to Quinnipiac say Sandy Lift and have the number 26, throughout memory of the 20 students and six educators who were slain in the shooting.
“I don’t think if you see the shirt - together with Sandy Hook 26 on the back - you don’t must explain it,” Clarke said. “The catastrophe at Sandy Hook strike a raw nerve with everybody around the world and baseball is truly a global game.”
Clarke is actually expecting to get more than 100 jerseys and the bidding will start at $26.
“When you look at the major regions involved, the countries required, some of the politics involved, that’s more than the cause itself,” Clarke said.
Jessica Keller, who attends Newtown High School and also went along to Sandy Hook, feels the particular jerseys were a perfect suit.
“You wear it and it’s kind of like it is going to never leave you and, a lot like the situation, it will never depart but it can always get better,” mentioned Keller, who plays for Clarke's membership team.
“Just to see Sandy Catch on the back of a top, it’s just so emotional and exhibits how everyone in the world is behind that school and just what happened,” said Tori Graessle, who has on the Quinnipiac women’s soccer team.
The public sale will go live in March and run for a month.
Clarke wishes to continue this tradition simply by auctioning 26 jerseys every 12 ,. 14.
