About:
We hosted Military Appreciation Night on 10/5/18. Players received a uniform waiver and wore patriotic jerseys which incorporated the american flag into their numbers. We honored any Port Byron graduate who had served in the armed forces at halftime. A short speech was read as they stood on the turf, ending with “We thank you for your service.” A Green Beret, combat veteran crafted a 3×5 wooden flag which was raffled off at halftime of the aforementioned game. A portion of those funds were donated to the scholarship fund. Football players sold the raffle tickets.
