Two brothers nearly missed their season
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave, [Name], a single dad, nearly pulled his two sons from the team because of gear costs. Our gear fund covered their helmets and pads, and both boys played the whole season.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for safe, properly fitted gear: reconditioned helmets, shoulder pads and mouthguards. At $50 each, that's full gear for 20 players, so no kid on our roster sits out over cost.
Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum for the day itself. [Donation link]
Thank you for being part of our Friday nights.
