Detroit Shock News Release
Detroit, MI., September 22, 2005-Swin Cash, all star forward for the Detroit Shock, announced today that she will host a signature fundraising event to benefit the Cash for Kids Charity and Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The Swin Cash Celebrity Birthday Fundraiser will be held Friday, September 30 at Posh Nightclub in Ferndale.
The fundraiser is designed to be a star-studded event, featuring Roc-A-Fella Records artist - DJ Clue; with celebrity guests from the NBA, NFL, WNBA and more. Through the Cash For Kids Charity, youth agencies and schools are provided with the essential tools to "get in the game". Sponsored by Rock Financial, Cash For Kids hopes to make a significant contribution to their efforts.
"Get in the game is more than just about sports," said Ms. Cash. "We want to support youth in their efforts to develop skills both inside and outside the classroom. And nowhere else is that needed more than for the displaced youth on the gulf coast."
In addition, on Saturday, October 1, 2005, Swin Cash and the Cash for Kids volunteers will serve as hosts for a community clean up event benefiting the Josefiak Play Lot. Organizations expected to assist with the clean up include the Detroit Community Initiative, City of Detroit Recreation Department and the Industrial Fence Company.
The general public is welcome to assist the volunteers with cutting grass, repairing fences and picnic areas, painting, as well as picking up trash and debris. All volunteers will be provided with food, beverages and plenty of fun for this worthwhile effort.
