FUNDRAISING UPDATE:

We are ALMOST half way to our goal for the year!  So far we have raised $8,315, but we only have 49% participation.  In order for us to keep this program going we need to fundraise!  On the list for this year the coaches need to purchase new player equipment kits, team sticks (5-6 player, 2 goalie), helmet decal update, balls, upgrade practice pinnies and shorts, new goal netting, end field netting, and so much more!

  • Action Required: Please ensure your player has sent out their personal donation link.

  • Missing your link? If you or your player haven't received it, please email me and I can resend it immediately.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

HOSPITALITY – If you are able to assist with bringing hot cocoa and hot water to the night games it would be super helpful!  If you are interested in helping let me know! We want to keep the tradition going!  Thank you to the Kuypers for assisting with this when we have JV games!
