We have
planned several events this coming season that our players will
certainly enjoy. Our fundraising efforts will finance these events. In
the past, we have had a tremendous response from many of our players
since our fundraising activities allow us to do many things as a team.
We have
traveled to New Jersey for a New Jersey Nets NBA basketball game. On
this trip, we have traveled on a coach bus and provided a meal for all
of the players. Along with this annual trip, we have purchased warm-ups
and practice jerseys and our players have had their summer basketball
activities paid for, including our “Shoot the Lights Out” Basketball
Camp. The summer basketball activities include summer league entry fees
and the individual cost for any team shootout.
Our annual
SHOOTATHON will be held this year. Each of
our players will be shooting 250 free throws on this day then will
collect money for each free throw made as well as any donation given to
the player. It is our biggest fundraising event. The fund raising goal
for each player has been $150. When this is goal met, it entitles the
individual player to attend all of our team-sponsored events for free.
Again, the
amount of money raised as a team dictates our outside activities. We are
hoping that each player will meet his goal during our fundraising
efforts. This affords us the opportunities presented.
