#Yellow4Greg

It is with a heavy heart that we pass along this news.

Greg Von Rueden of the West Allis Lightning Boys 15U team has been battling bone cancer for several months. After bravely facing chemotherapy and surgery, he was recently told he had FINALLY beaten cancer.

On Good Friday, he and his family found out that his battle is not yet won. As Greg and his family continue on this difficult journey, we want to show them our support and love.

We’re asking you to wear yellow.

Yellow has been Greg’s battle color since he was first diagnosed. You’ll see his West Allis Lightning Boys 15U teammates and various others wearing their “Yellow for Greg” shirts this weekend. Greg's teammates are also selling "Yellow for Greg" wristbands. Here is a link to their schedule. All profits from the wristbands will go to the Von Rueden family.  

WHEREVER you are playing, wear something yellow. A yellow hat. A yellow tee-shirt. Yellow pants. Yellow anything. 

Greg can’t be in the gym to see it painted yellow. So we need to take the gym to Greg. We know you all have smart phones. Whip them out and let Greg know you are thinking of him.

Use Facebook and post a photo of your team going #Yellow4Greg to our page. 

Use Twitter or Instagram to share a photo of you wearing #Yellow4Greg.

Use whatever social media you use.

But be sure to hashtag #Yellow4Greg so all of our photos and well-wishes are gathered to one place.

Let's come together as volleyball family and show Greg he isn't fighting alone. 

Check out this video that Greg's brother made for him. 

Donations can be made to US Bank and the "Yellow for Greg" fund, or at this link.
