A pledge for support: Dan Slarve 1971-2008
As many of you have already heard, Dan Slarve from team “Belly Up,” died tragically on June 19th due to complications he suffered from a broken leg he sustained sliding into second base this 2008 softball season. Dan left behind his wife Barbara and, three young children, Taylor (7), Nathan (4) and Rachael (1).
Team “Belly Up” is leading a “home improvement” fundraiser to help finish a number of important projects that Dan had planned for the summer and remain unfinished.
As part of a community of over 100 teams, we are hoping for your teams support to help finance a number of home repairs including plumbing, electrical, and roof repairs before the rainy season. Our goal is to raise $20,000.00 for the family through this softball community which, if every team contributes, is an attainable goal. Team “Belly Up” will be organizing the work in hopes to have Barbara and kids in a clean and safe home by summers end.
If you are able to help, we urge every team manager to share this story with his respective team members and help gather funds for this cause. (If one check per team could be sent, we would appreciate it).

Although there are instructions to donate on this site, we want to manage these funds separately so we can offer them to Barbara as funds directly contributed by Dan’s softball community.
We ask that checks be made payable to “The Family of Dan Slarve”and mailed or delivered to Rich Harrington – 304 Strand Ave, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523.
Our goal is to have all funds collected by the end of July so we can get the projects scheduled immediately.
For any inquiries or for any information on how you can help the family, please feel free to email Rich Harrington. (rharrington_2002 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Regards,
Team “Belly Up”
