About:
This Sunday, September 12th, the team will be participating in the Cardboard Boat Race at the Ithaca Yacht Club. This is a fundraiser for Family and Children’s Services, and due to some very generous donors, athletics teams can participate free of charge. The plan is to have 6 team members in the boat (the 6 have volunteered and will be required to wear lifejackets), but all other team members are encouraged to come and cheer their teammates on. Each athlete will be given a food bracelet so they can eat during the event. Here is the schedule for the day:
1:00 – 1:30 – Boat arrival and registration. The captain (Grace) will need to register the boat at the registration table – all other team members will check in at guest registration before 1:30.
1:30 – 2:00 – Boats are on display for judging and inspection.
2:00 – Captains meeting for rules and instruction.
2:15 – Official welcome for participation and attendees.
2:30 – Races will begin.
3:30(ish) – Award ceremony immediately following the last race.
4:00 – Closing remarks from the Executive Director.
Please note – The registration for athletes is free but if family members want to come and watch they will need to purchase a ticket for $50. This is not a mandatory team event, but it is a fantastic community event that we have been included in. The girls have been told to let me know if they are unable to make it, just so I know how many total we will have.
