HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
The Gridiron Club is looking for parents who want
to become involved in helping out the kids and the program. We
appreciate any kind of help. Whether you want to donate a little
or a lot of time and/or money, the Gridiron Club can use your
help. We do a lot throughout the year, so there are a number of
things in which you can become involved. Help can be in any form.
Your time is greatly appreciated. You can help at the games by
selling programs or merchandise. If you like golf, then helping
with the Golf Scramble might be right up your alley. If you're
a business person, then advertising your business in our football
programs or sponsoring a golf hole has a large impact. If you
don't have the time, a donation would als help the program. It
is amazing how much the little things can help in building a program
that benefits the kids, school and the community. Please contact
us at our e-mail address and let us know what you would like to
do. For us, this is not a hard sell. We are appreciative of any
assistance. Thank you.
