Coach Receives a Wonderful Gift

What a great idea for a gift. Check out the complete article in the Orlando Sentinal:

When Brent Surman, coach of the Shetland Padres Pony League team of Murrieta, Calif., received his end-of-season gift from his team, he was touched.

Instead of a gift certificate or a plaque, the team made a donation in Surman’s name to Coaches Curing Kids’ Cancer to help fund pediatric-cancer research.

“I was so moved by their gesture,” says Surman. “The players demonstrated exactly the type of values I try to teach. I can’t think of a better gift to receive from my team.”
