"COACH" JIM ANGSTEN'S BENEFIT


"Coach" Jim Angsten has devoted his life to teaching and coaching -- first at Montini
High School and, for the past 36 years, at St. Rita. His dedication, genuineness, and
strength of character have won for him the love and respect of all who know him.
Sadly, on April 1st last year, Coach was diagnosed with ALS--Lou Gehrig's Disease, a
horribly debilitating motor neuron disorder. Currently there is only one treatment
available for this disease, and there is no cure.


Some of Coach's family and friends have organized to raise funds to help with medical
expenses down the line. For this reason, a gala benefit will be held at St. Rita High
School on Saturday, March 8th, from 4 - 9 PM. Save the date! There will be music
provided by "Can't Hear Jack." There will be mouth-watering food. A Grand Raffle
boasting a top prize of $5,000! A Silent Auction, Split-the-Pot Raffle, a Specialty
Raffle, a Cash Bar, and lots more fun and surprises. What a wonderful way to help a
great cause!


Admission tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Dinner, which will be
served from 5 - 8 PM, is included in the ticket price. Visit our website:
coachangstenscause.com to purchase your admission ticket (on or off-line), to buy
Grand Raffle tickets, to make a donation, or just for additional information. You're
invited to "like" Coach Angsten's Cause on Facebook, too.
