Sarah's Cause Raise awareness of sepsis and donations for local animal shelters in memory of Sarah Jayne Orton Sarah died unexpectedly of sepsis on 10/10/13.

Sarah was born on May 15, 2008 - for her 5th birthday she asked her friends instead of giving her gifts, if they could give her donations to take to the Baltimore Humane Society. She knew that is where her dog scooter was adopted from in 2001, so she wanted to help Scooters second family. So in Sarah's honor we have created an organization to carry on this tradition to raise money for local humane societies in Sarah's name - namely Stray Haven in NY and the Baltimore Humane Society in MD.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to play, support, and make the Sarah's Cause NY 5th Annual Co****le Tournament Fundraiser such an incredible success!

We started our day with our 48 players with every skill level by playing 4 rounds of Switch on 8 sets of boards and then split into 3 brackets this year to ensure a level playing field, which led to some really great games throughout the day and in bracket (2 of the divisions went to a double dip game!). We really appreciated so many players from different clubs participating, we even had a player from Maryland drive up to support us this year (he won the Upper division in this years MD tournament in March!)

In the end, after costs we ended up raising one of the highest amounts in the last 5 years at either MD or NY events - $8,660!

Without further ado, Congratulations to all of this year’s division winners and top finishers:

Competitive Division:
1st Place: Aidan & Hi I'm Dave
2nd Place: Marinda M. & Danielle D
3rd Place: Mike H. & Brandon Widger

Social Division:
1st Place: Pat Fox & Jason H.
2nd Place: Houston & MWhiteSwagbags
3rd Place: Brent B & Dave G.

Backyard Division:
1st Place: Kolbie Gregrow & Ryan Stevens
2nd Place: Stephanie Ellis & Lucy Farmer

We also drew several tickets for the Dice Challenge and Airmail Challenge in between brackets! Congrats to the Winners!

Special thanks for Country Roads Co****le, Airmail Express Co****le Barnstormers Co****le & Twisted Co****le for donating the 65" TV as one of the many raffles! Outside of the TV we had a Yeti Cooler raffle and over 75 different Basket Raffles! In addition, we had a Bake Sale, Balloon Pops, Flowers, Fetch-a-Pop, Tail-Wagging Poker, Corks for Canines & a Perfect Match Mixer!

Thank you again to our players, sponsors, (including Nicole's DOG Salon, 907 Wheelers and Adana Veterinary Clinic), and supporters for continuing to help us make a difference in Sarah's memory!

We couldn't possibly thank everyone that help put this fundraiser together, but please know your efforts have not gone unnoticed and is truly appreciated.

If you made it this far in this long post, thank you. Today is special as it marks the day we lost Sarah 13 years ago. Please think about performing a random act of kindness in honor of Sarah today. Thank you.
