Through the contributions of Steve Sirk, his employer and the Crew Soccer Foundation, every copy of Sirk’s book, “A Massive Season,” sold via the Crew Gear store and TheCrew.com (direct link here) between today and Feb. 2 at 5 p.m. will generate a $22 donation to the international medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders for relief efforts in Haiti.

In addition to Sirk’s personal donation, the CSF will contribute the donation it receives for each copy sold through the store and TheCrew.com (including both stand-alone book and the championship DVD combo), for a total donation of $11. Sirk’s employer is generously matching funds raised by its employees through Feb. 2, which will result in a total donation of $22, making the total amount going to Haitian relief for each book sold $2 greater than the price of the book.

The 480-page book, priced at $20, features all 19 of Sirk’s 2008 Notebooks, including the epic MLS Cup recap from California; Recaps of those Notebook-less away games; The blog entries before and after MLS Cup; Several new essays sprinkled throughout; A foreword by Dante Washington; Footnote commentary; Over 140 pro and amateur black & white photos; Notebook snippets from yesteryear; Documentation of the joyous aftermath, from the Statehouse to the White House; and a special section featuring Crew alumni. A must-read for diehard Crew fans, “A Massive Season” is the ultimate championship season scrapbook.

The philosophy of Doctors Without Borders is based on the humanitarian principles of medical ethics and impartiality, and they are well known for providing urgent medical care to people in countries ravaged by violence, neglect or catastrophe. Doctors from the organization are already on the ground in Haiti providing much-needed medical aid.
