Former Statesman Battling Lymphoma

Statesmen Athletic Association (SAA) members, friends and fans of the Hobart Football program received some bad news today from Head Coach Mike Cragg.  Apparently former Statesmen Co-Captain and OL Kelvin Cruz '11 has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. 

An excerpt from Coach Cragg's note is below (bold mine):

"Kelvin Cruz is a Geneva, NY native and a former team captain. Kelvin was a four year letterman at center, helping pave the path to two playoff appearances in his time at Hobart. In an effort to support Kelvin and his family, Hobart Football has partnered with Geneva High School and Dana’s Time Out to host “Cruzin for Kelvin’s Cure.”  Proceeds will benefit the Cruz family in an effort to offset Kelvin’s medical expenses.  The event will take place on February 23^rd at Dana’s Time Out in Geneva, NY. Dinner will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., followed by a silent auction and a live auction.  We are still collecting items to be auctioned at the event and monetary donations can be made out to “Cruzin for Kelvin’s Cure” for those that are unable to attend. Tickets can be purchased any time prior to the event for twenty dollars and at the door for twenty five dollars.  We appreciate your support and hope to see as many of you as possible on the 23^rd.  The details of the event can be found in the document here."

Please consider a gift of any amount to support this young man during this difficult time.

Thank you and go 'Bart!
