About:
The girls approached me with the idea to raise money for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It is an organization that they seem to unitedly feel passionate about! They have organized an exciting match this upcoming Tuesday against Hampton Bays. During school, the girls are selling t shirts and paper flags. The paper flags are donations of various amounts. If someone buys a flag, they get their name on it and the girls plan to decorate the gym with the flags on the day of the event. Both JV and Varsity have set up a raffle with baskets that they put together. Additionally, they will host a bake sale and pizza sale. JV will man the table during the varsity game and varsity will do the same when JV is playing. We have a representative from the Tunnel to Towers Foundation coming to say a few short words about the foundation. The girls also reached out to Carter Rubin who will be singing the National Anthem before the game. The girls asked the cheerleading team at our school to come to the game to cheer us on. They also reached out to our school principal and received permission to make announcements about the event during school. The girls will be dropping off flyers to our local police and fire departments to encourage their attendance. They have been doing everything they can to spread the word, using social media, posting flyers, and even writing on their cars with window paint. I am so impressed by their dedication to making this an unforgettable night for a great cause.
“The game was a HUGE success. The girls truly outdid themselves, we had a great turnout and the Tunnel to Towers speaker was truly inspirational.”- Coach Hailey Wehr
