Military Appreciation Night
Update
The past couple of weeks have been pretty slow for us. We haven't done much more than contacting recruiters, asking for donations to give to the veterans that attend our game, and also inviting them to come set up tables during the game. This project has been quite the cool down compared to our last few projects but it's been fun contacting the recruiters and members of our military to work with them! We were planning on buying bracelets to sell; however, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus in China, we weren't able to find a company that could ship from China. So sadly, we won't be able to sell military bracelets. But on the bright side we plan on having SWAG bags to give to the veterans and we will also be running military themed competitions for students during timeouts. Our event is tomorrow evening! Results: Our total amount collected during our Military Appreciation Night was $296.30!

The Start of Helping Hands For Freedom
We are beginning a new project where we are partnered with the athletic office again because of the compatibility we had with them during our Coaches vs. Cancer night! Our plan is to host a military appreciation night that is partnered with an organization called 'Helping Hands For Freedom'. This event will mainly be to raise funding to help this organization and their cause and also to honor our local veterans. Their mission is to raise funding for military families who have lost a loved one in combat. We feel that we have many students and faculty that have experienced a loved one being taken in combat so we hope that this is meaningful to our community. To raise funding, we are going to run buckets through the stands and we also are making bracelets to sell. We also are partnered with Paul Gable who helps out all around with fundraisers like this. He will be bringing us supplies and gifts we can hand out. We are hosting this event on February 22nd. We are very excited to honor our veterans! |
