FIREFLY

Four day team fundraising
Wesley Wolverines to work
huge Firefly Music Festival


Firefly Festival: 80,000 fans expected
Hard work at a crazy place is one way to describe it.

A terrific fundraising opportunity is its more apt designation, that is, as far as many Wesley Wolverine athletes are concerned.

It's this month’s...

in Dover, Delaware – just east of the Wesley College campus.

It begins this Thursday, June 19, and runs for four days, through Sunday, June 22, for what Huffpost calls “mixed-genre, down to earth” nonstop live outdoor music. The event bills itself as "The East Coast's Premier Music Experience."

Firefly Festival: covers 154 acres
They do come from far and wide. More than 80,000 music fans are expected to descend on 154 acres around Dover International Speedway this year for the 110 bands scheduled to perform, including Foo Fighters, OutKast and Jack Johnson.

Among the cars, campers, and RVs rolling into town – promised by organizers not be be a traffic jam this year – will be our Wesley Wolverine softball and volleyball players – about 30 volunteers in all – ready to staff concession stands.

If you go, check out the “Verde Fresh” booth for Mexican dining prepared and served by the SOFTBALL team:
junior Bre Hartman, junior Steph Caracozza, junior Sarah Saunders, junior Morgan Seymour, junior Samantha Mahoski, junior Allison Kraky, sophomore Lindsay Siok, sophomore Casey Beall, sophomore Nina Marcano, sophomore Lily Engel, sophomore Devin Mackay, freshman Tiarra Maddox, freshman Destiny Davis, freshman Alexis Andrews, freshman Lauren Hoffman, and Assistant coach Noemi Rodriguez.

Firefly Festival: featuring 110 bands
For dessert, step over to “Sweet Tooth” staffed by the VOLLEYBALL players: senior Rachel Hausler, junior Meghan Marshall, junior Tatum Jones, junior Samantha Weber, sophomore Arnelle Akakpo,  freshman Jessica Tynes, freshman Kadijah Doughty, freshman Charlene Coyne, freshman Codi Ziolkowski, and Head Coach Volleyball/ Softball Juli Greep.

If last year serves an an example, a few Wolverines may pull along friends and family members (David Weber
Carly Banks,  Zak Allen, Dan Zabrowski & others) to help with the fundraising, too.

The players and their friends are working 4pm-11pm on Thursday and 11am-midnight the remaining three days.
