As Basketball Prepares to Tip-Off,
So Does the All For One

As excitement continues to build for the beginning of highly anticipated seasons for both the Xavier men's and women's basketball program, the All For One is also eager to begin efforts for the 2009-2010 year.

You should receive your AFO renewal materials within the week. If this isn't the case, and you supported the AFO last year, please let us know.

Sending out our annual brochure and kick-off letters mark the beginning of what is an important year for the AFO and Xavier Athletics. With new leadership in our men's basketball program, and with both expectations and need for support greater than ever, it is certainly an exciting time to be a Musketeer and a member of the AFO.

It is our hope that you will continue your support and even increase your commitment if able. Your investments in Xavier have paid tremendous dividends, in the form of degrees and Xavier graduates going on to lives of service and success.

It is with sincere gratitude for all you have done, and all you continue to do, that I ask your continued support of the AFO during this most exciting time.
