The CAVS are great - but its not what you think

Everybody knows the Cavs are the hottest team in the NBA! Mike Brown just received the "Coach of The Year Award" and many are predicting that Lebron will be the MVP. Cavs games are sold out; the arena is packed even when the team isn't physically present - when fans enthusiastically watch the Cavs on the jumbotron at the Q while the team is out of town! Cleveland is thrilled and the excitement is contagious. So yes - the Cavs are great because of their basketball ability and teamwork. But the Cavs are also great for a reason that does not get in the news like the games do. Those who are not in the limelight and work behind the scenes are pretty incredible. The work they do in the community is amazing. Colleen Garrity, the Cavs Community Relations Director and Carolyn Brown, who heads up the Cavaliers Better Halves, are committed individuals who love to work with people in the community. Carolyn, who is chairing DVC's first annual Charity Ball this Saturday, May 2nd, has done an outstanding job with the Ball! She and Colleen together have secured amazing auction items - namely a flight on the Cavaliers Team Plane to an away game with hotel and game tickets provided. Carolyn has spent numerous hours planning every detail both big and small. At a time when funders are giving less due to the economy, this is just the boost DVC needs! We thank Carolyn - as we are truly grateful. Her community spirit and her generosity is one reason why the Cavaliers are great!
