Our family doesn't have anyone eligible to participate, but we are certainly willing to contribute to a local fund to allow girls to participate in this important event. To deny senior players this opportunity would be disappointing, to them and to those who have supported them through the years.
I'm coming into this late, so forgive me if I am suggesting something that has already been attempted. Has anyone tried to widen the network by publishing an article in The State, The Courier & Post, The Greenville News, or The Charlotte Observer (few examples) about the situation? Surely some company in SC - big or small - would find the marketing opportunity appealing.
