If you are planning to shoot at Pennsic, I urge you to join in the fundraiser described below. If you are not able to shoot with us, I hope you will consider sponsoring an archer in this worthy cause.

Lady Arnfridr, I am planing to shoot this event to help raise money for
Breast Cancer research. I lost my mother to this dreaded disease so I know
the importance of research is. I hope all will join me.

Breast Cancer Fundraiser Archery Shoot at Pennsic

THL Ce'tach Fitzgibbon has announced that there will be a "100 Shaft
Endurance Challenge" at Pennsic 34 to benefit research to find a cure for
Breast Cancer.

Greetings Archers of the Known World,
I am Ce'tach Fitzgibbon, a humble archer from Aethelmearc. Recently,
Queen Tessa of Aethelmearc asked the archers of our fair Kingdom to
endeavor to raise awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Research. Taking
up this quest, I invented the 100 Shaft Endurance Challenge as a
fundraiser and encouraged the Aethelmearc Archers to participate and raise
money.
As of this writing, the archers of our sylvan lands have raised over
$1300 to this end in what has been an honorable and noble endeavor.
However, I am not satisfied with this amount. I know with the help of
the archers of the known world, that we could double, nay, even triple the
funds raised.
Therefore, I am hosting my endurance challenge as a novelty shoot at
the coming Pennsic War. The shoot will be Friday August 12 starting at 10
am and go until 2 pm. Attendance is not necessary for the full four hours,
only about 30 minutes, which is the average time it takes to loose 100
shafts.
The rules are simple. There is a target at 20 yards with three scoring
areas. Each archer will loose 100 shafts at the target in succession (10
per round). Each archer will score themselves. Then, and this is the
important part, each archer will take their scores and honor back to their
camp and friends and ask for a sponsoring donation of at least $1 (of
course, more is acceptable). The funds will then be submitted to myself or
one of my deputies to be presented to the Breast Cancer Research
Foundation (my chosen charity).
To encourage the archers to participate, there are several small
prizes to be announced. To qualify for the small prizes, each archer must
raise a minimum of $20. Winners for these prizes will be randomly drawn
from the qualifying archers.
There will also be a grand prize of a set of hand-made, self-nocked,
tied-on-fletching arrows graciously made by Lady Cionaodh Gunn of Stelton
Wald, Aethelmearc. These are a wonderful prize, worthy of the best and
most dedicated archers. Therefore, this prize will be randomly drawn from
a pool or archers that have distinquished themselves either by shooting
the highest scores or raising the most funds.
This is great cause and there is something we can do to help, so
please come on out and shoot and help us help find a cure for Breast
Cancer.
Yours in Service,
THL Ce'tach Fitzgibbon
