Support the team please
Dear GFC Track & Field and Cross Country Alumni,
I remember when I started coaching XX years ago. My goal was to make a positive impact on at least one student-athlete. I desired to be a coach who continually gave kids positive reinforcement for working hard to achieve their goals, and to build a family-team atmosphere. Looking back over the years, I believe these goals were met. I hope you agree and have fond memories as you reflect back on your time as a student-athlete.
As I am nearing the end of my coaching career, my hope is to build upon the past and create a bright future for current and future athletes. To achieve this goal, we need some help from all of you. It’s my dream to ensure that every athlete who is part of the program has the financial support to be successful. Together we can make this a reality.
As we look ahead to the immediate future, I’ve identified some key areas where your support is needed:
Additionally, there is growing support toward building a Track & Field facility for Central High School in the next five years. Ultimately, when that occurs, we want it to be a top-level facility for our student-athletes. Raising the funds to purchase Track & Field equipment for this facility will take time and be a critical part of our fundraising efforts.
Finally, we desire to create a scholarship to be given out annually to a male and female athlete who is excelling within their sport. I would love to collaborate with anyone who would like to be a part of this innovation.
If you would like to participate in our fundraising campaign, visit Website. We have set a goal of $5000 a year for the next five years (I made this part up, edit as needed but if you call it a campaign and have a five year goal that looks thought out). To ensure everyone can be included, we need your help to find contact information for former athletes. Please add any contact information you may have to this google document.
Thank you
