Asthma Foundation Fundraiser 2010

Starting at 7am on Friday, March 12, 2010, tennis coach Jake Lester will attempt to break the World Record for “Longest Tennis Coaching Marathon” at Duke University's Sheffield Indoor Tennis Stadium in Durham, NC. The current record stands at 60 consecutive half-hour lessons.

In October 2008, Coach Jake’s brother-in-law, Joseph (Jody) Daniel Brooks, died unexpectedly from an asthma attack.  His 36th birthday would have been on March 13, 2010.  In honor of Jody, Coach Jake will attempt to teach 72 consecutive half-hour lessons to raise awareness about asthma and asthma related diseases and to raise money for asthma research.

There are several ways you can help Coach Jake reach his goal!

1) Take a lesson:
     A half-hour lesson is a minimum $25.00 donation

2) Offer a pledge for hours taught  (Contact Us for this pledge)          
     Here’s an example: pledge $5 per hour taught during record attempt
     $5/hour x 36 hours = $180.00

3) Donate directly to the American Asthma Foundation (AAF) in the name of Jody Brooks

4) Buy Organic Bakies cookies during the event - all money from the sales will be donated to the AAF

5) Cheer on Coach Jake in the early morning hours
 
All money raised will be donated to the American Asthma Foundation in the name of Jody Brooks to support research into the development of improved treatments, detection and prevention, and finding a cure for asthma and asthma related illnesses.  Click here for facts about Asthma.
