Fundraisers

Hi everyone,

This week, I have my charitable hat on. Like any non-profit club, we rely on the generosity of our players' families and our sponsors for support.

That support can be financial, which helps offset club costs, like the equipment for our kids. It can be donating materials or posters. It can also be participating in a club-sponsored event. Our next event for our football club is a Family Fun night, with a silent auction, dinner, and comedian. Help is greatly appreciated at these events, from setup to taking pictures. I am impressed by how people are able to coordinate such large activities.

If your club has a volunteer leader, and they ask for your help, please consider that you are doing a great service to them, making their job a little easier, and you are also doing a great service for the kids. The ultimate goal is to help them, and you will have a little fun along the way, not to mention the great feeling of having contributed.

Another great way to support your local club is to become a sponsor - if you run a local business, donate what you can. It's great publicity, and helps a child with positive growth opportunities.

Remember, your local club may be very active in the sport's offseason; when the season is going on, it is all about the sport. At other times of the year, your support is just as important.

Finally, thank you for your support - without your help, we would not be successful. It is always appreciated,

Until next time,

Rob
