Vernon Aldridge, Kylie’s dad, reached out to me tonight and asked me to post his message below to the TSL family. He has never posted here but regularly reads our articles and knows of your amazing generosity. ——————————————————— I don’t get on the message boards very often, but I know how generous the members of TSL are. Since it’s Giving Day, I just wanted to personally thank each of you for supporting Virginia Tech Hokies softball. Your generosity helps ensure our daughters have everything they need to compete at the national level. You could choose to give your hard-earned money anywhere, and the fact that you choose to invest in these young women and their experience means more than you know. My daughter truly loves Virginia Tech—her teammates, her coaches, and all of Hokie Nation. She wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. On behalf of my family, and I’m sure the families of all the Hokie Softball players, thank you again to the members of TSL. Let’s Go Hokies!
