Huge Fundraising Opportunity

USATF Youth Track and Field Meet to be Held at HHS.

Hey team.  I've been contacted by members of USA Track and Field who are looking for a place to hold one of their meets.  The dates of the meet are

July 15

July 16.  

This is a great opportunity for us on 2 counts:  First and foremost, this is a HUGE opportunity for us to raise funds by running a snack bar.  I've spoken to the person in charge and he says we can expect up to 1,000 athletes for the 2 day meet.  Kids and parents at a meet for 2 days tend to purchase a LOT of food.  Second.  This is an opportunity for OUR athletes to compete, if they so choose.  

Fundraising

As most of you know, we no longer have access to the Brooks family cabin at Echo Summit for our camp.  This means that I've had to rent a cabin for this years camp.  The rental has completely drained our account.  

If you are planning on going to camp, you will need to help with this snackbar fundraiser.  I am making participation in this fundraiser MANDATORY for athletes in order to attend camp AND in order to go on the Woodbridge trip.  The selection criteria for camp and the Woodbridge trip will remain the same, however, non-participation in this fundraiser will disqualify you from both trips.

This is what will be required

1. A donation of food or drinks to the snackbar.  This does not have to be a huge donation.  We can turn a 5 dollar case of water into a 35 dollar profit.  I will be putting out a list of items we'd like donated.  Please choose AT LEAST ONE DONATION ITEM from the list.  Items should not exceed $20.00.  If you'd like to donate more than one item, we would of course welcome that.  Any items donated are items we don't have to pay for from the team account and simply add to the teams profit.  
2. You or a family memeber working at least one shift in the snack bar.  Shifts will be 4 hours and I'll be looking for at least 5 people per shift.  

We will need more help and donations than just the small percentage of the team that is going to camp can provide.  I am asking all of you to at least consider volunteering and donating.

I will be sending out a couple of sign up genius registration links within the next couple of days. 

Competition

This will be a fun, low stress opportunity for any HHS athlete that wants to compete.  I will have information in the next few days on how to sign up.
