A family, a uniform fee, and our $1,000 goal
Hi [First name],
Last season, a parent of two of our players told us the uniform fee almost kept the family from signing up. Our booster club fund covered it, and both kids took the field on opening day.
Gifts like yours helped build that fund.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for new game-day uniforms. That's 20 athletes in full uniforms at $50 each, so every player can suit up no matter what the family can afford.
Early gifts build momentum. If you'd like to start us off, you can give here: [Donation link]
