Athletic Boosters Night at the Races

This is very important for the continual support from the Boosters.  Please read and contact Neil or Anissa to support this event! 

Sat, 4-28-12 is the 3rd annual Highlands Athletic Boosters Association Night at the Races.  If you’ve never been, it’s a very fun night!  Unfortunately, it’s the same weekend as a Varsity tournament in Louisville, so we’re really asking all softball parents to help out in supporting this event, either by attendance or by sponsoring a horse for the event. Horses are $25 and could potentially be a big winner or even lucky loser, which also brings home a prize.  Tickets to the event are $15 each (in advance or $20 at the door). 

Considering the amount of money the Booster’s have given the team, it would be great for the Softball teams (Freshman, JV & Varsity) to support this event.  The Booster’s approved $700 last month for equipment and the ‘Dolphin’ (cost was approximately $1500) was also purchased as a result of Booster’s money.  In the past several years, the Booster’s has given over $5000 to the softball program, compared to some other sports, the Booster’s have been very generous in purchases that the school district would otherwise not support.  

In addition to the softball teams, the Booster’s has recently voted to support $50,000 towards the purchase of a new state of the art gym floor, which will be used by all HHS/HMS students, as well as the softball teams in the off-season.  This would not be possible without the support of the community and families such as you.  

As our final year on the Booster’s Board, as graduating parents, we would like to encourage each of you to find a way to support the Booster’s, now and in the future.  In the past 4 years since we have been on the Booster’s Board, there has not been a request from the Softball coaches that hasn’t been granted, everything they have asked for has been approved!  If you’re attending the Varsity tournament, we could encourage you to sponsor a horse, or if $25 is too much, go in with another family and split it.  If you’re in town, please consider attending the event and possibly sponsoring a horse.  This is a very fun event, especially if you attend with other softball parents!  We hope there will be a great turnout of softball parents (to show our appreciation of their support).  Please contact Neil Hollingsworth #916-4159 or Anissa Hollingsworth #916-4158 in order to purchase a horse (Deadline is Wed, 4-18-12) or Wed, 4-25-12 to purchase reduced/advance tickets to the event.
  
Thanks for your consideration with this and your support of the Booster’s Organization.
