Hello! To celebrate our most successful season to date, we’ve decided to do a special edition run of shirts to commemorate our 2024 Crescendo robot, Leo! If you’re interested, please fill out our form: https://forms.gle/EgEiN9VLi2HQsqLA8
We are open to shipping orders across Canada and the US, or we can meet up with buyers at any of the competitions we will be competing at in 2025 (ONT Newmarket, ONT Durham, ONT DCMP*). Orders will close at midnight EST on November 30th.
Shirt Design:
In 2014, a friend of our team, Mackenzie, was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. W.A.F.F.L.E.S. partnered with a group called OneMatch, now called Stem Cells For Life, which is a branch of Canadian Blood Services which matches those in need of a stem cell transplant with suitable donors. The matches we play on the field are great, but these ones are so much more important.
This year, our robot’s name is Leo, after a one-year-old boy from California who suffers from X-linked hyper IGM Syndrome and needs a stem cell transplant to survive. As if it wasn’t enough, Leo is a mixed-race patient, which makes it even harder for him to find a compatible donor, as he needs to find someone who shares his Filipino and White background.
If you share Leo’s half White, half Filipino ethnic background, please visit the link in bio to sign up to your local registry today through https://swabtheworld.com/en/become-a-donor.
