The Michigan Strikers are teaming up with the people at Stay In The Shade to raise money
for melanoma research.  A member of our coaching staff, Karl Lopata, was diagnosed with
melanoma in November 2005 and, as of May 2006, is now cancer free.  The Strikers
organization wanted to give back to the community and thought with athletes being out in
the sun for most of their career, melanoma was a great cause to rally around.   You will
notice that the Strikers use an indoor training facility all year round, not only does this
provide a consistent playing surface for the kids, it also keeps them out of the suns
harmful rays.  

How it works

The Strikers will have fundraising days where all money made will go to Stay In The Shade.
 We will also give a portion of camp money made to Stay In The Shade.

Parents and players can also make their own contributions by clicking the Active banner
below.  All donations are tax deductible.
