I know the thought of fundraisers is unpleasant, but in todays world it seems to be a necessity for groups and organizations to get the funding they need to operate well. We are unfortunately no exception. This week you should receive up to three different items.
First is the Harry Green Invitational Program Ads. These are ads to go in the meet program given out at the Harry Green Statewide Invitationals, both high school and middle school. The money goes to help provide both the Middle School and High School teams with equipment, coaching supplements, travel expenses, food costs, year end picnic expenses, etc. This money is put in the Parents Association and is used to directly help the Track Team. This is for both HS and MS. We need these back by March 19th.
Second are Spaghetti Dinner Tickets. The All-Sports Boosters are asking that we help sell Spaghetti Dinner Tickets for their upcoming dinner. This money goes to the Boosters, but they do help by providing meals to the team for out of county trips. This is for the High School team only. Mrs. Henderson will be collecting the money and unsold tickets at the Parents Association meeting on Tuesday March 9th and at the field during practice on Wednesday March 10th.
Finally, the third item is the Bridgeport Track & Field Spirit Packs. This is really not a fundraiser. The Parents Association provides this as a service to the kids. We do not make any money on this. The items are sold at cost to the kids on an optional basis. No athlete is required to purchase the pack. This year we are selling a t-shirt, shorts and a back sack. They are black with a white logo on each. This is for both HS and MS teams. Orders need to be back to Coach Griffith by Friday March 12, 2010.
All of these activities have accompanying paperwork that your student athlete should be bringing home. Thanks in advance to all those who participate in any or all of these programs.
