Jason Campbell Classic







WOW!! What a day for us. We started the morning at the Lowe's Island Country Club in Sterling, VA where the boys met several Redskins. They were first introduced to Darrell Green, who was very nice and signed a football and towel for Jamey, then took a couple of pictures with the boys. Next we met Jason Campbell, who was really neat and also took pictures. We also left shirts for all the Redskins to sign for the boys. Jason also introduced Jamey to the golfers at the beginning of the tournament. Another cool thing that happened was that Darrell Green took Jamey to the putting green, taught him how to put, and played a little golf with him. I have to say, that was really cool . . .

While the golfers played golf, the boys and I went to the Leesburg Outlets to shop, and we returned at the end of the tournament where we met up with my parents and David. The rest of the evening was incredible. Jamie K., one of the people on the committee for the event, took us under his wing and introduced the boys to all the Redskins there. They boys got autographs on their hats and had a ball. We went into dinner next, where Jamey was introduced and gave a short speech, then they had a live auction. The best part about this was that the Jason Campbell Golf Classic raised over $150,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!!!

I have to say, this has probably been one of the best weeks of Jamey's life - first the assembly from last week, now the Classic, on Saturday we are at Relay for Life (where he raised over $1500 for the American Cancer Society), and on Sunday he has something super fun with the boy scouts.
