Purple Row Cares: In memory of Thomas Harding's son

Tragic news has struck the Colorado Rockies community. According to an obituary in the Boulder Daily Camera; Thomas Harding's son passed away on Super Bowl Sunday. Isaac Harding was the son of Rockies MLB.com reporter Thomas and his wife Cindy. Isaac was a sports fanatic who loved playing football, basketball and wrestling. In lieu of flowers the family is asking for donations in Isaac's name to a youth sports program. Purple Row Cares still has $70 left and I believe this would be the perfect time to donate that money. I've listed a couple of choices down below, but I encourage Rowbots to add their own ideas and I will make a poll question out of the submissions. Those of us in the Purple Row community are saddened by Thomas and Cindy's loss and offer our heartfelt prayers and condolences.

More importantly than just the $70 in the PRC bank

If we all buy a thing from the site (I’m assuming it’s still running), we can put that much more toward this cause.

Either of those would work

I would like the Broomfield Little League personally though

I'm working on updating the shirts with the new logo..

I should have that up by Wednesday night. Also if anyone wants a customized shirt, or a purple shirt (because Cafepress doesn’t offer that color) they can email me. There’s another shirt place I’ve found that offers purple, but not in a marketplace format.

There was a touching memorial service today for Isaac.

People brought forward their memories of Isaac, as well as a photo gallery.

The Loss of Someone We Love ...

The toughest thing any of us will ever face in our lifetime is the loss of someone we love … / Maybe a good thing would be for someone to write an article about the son’s life and send it to the family?

Well, it's a sweet idea

but I never knew Isaac personally. I was there as a show of support for his father, Thomas Harding.
