Re:       Lockport Football Gold Card Fundraiser

The Lockport football program has again this year put together a Gold Card fundraiser to help defer some of the costs associated with running our football program.  There are many needs for the program that the athletic budget does not cover.   The Gold Cards feature discounts from businesses in the Lockport/Homer Glen areas that are good through August 31, 2011.  We have worked hard this year to make the cards a terrific value for the customers that purchase.  We have added more businesses, extra key tags, and we are offering a national on-line discount program.  The cards are a tremendous value for the reduced price of $10.

This is a mandatory fundraiser for all participants that want to play in the Lockport football program this year.  We are expecting the players to sell the 15 cards!

Please read the following fundraiser guidelines closely so everyone fully understands what is expected of each player:

1)      The fundraiser starts on August 12 – players will be given 15 Gold Cards. 

2)      Players are expected to sell 15 cards, but are encouraged to sell more to obtain cash prizes (Gold Card Prize Info)

3)      Players will be expected to turn in money (in cash or checks) for the cards they have sold on checkpoint days of Monday, August 16 and Thursday, August 19.  All checks should be made out to “Lockport Football Boosters”.

4)      Players will be expected to have the money turned in for their 15 cards sold no later than Saturday, August 21.  This is the last day of the fundraiser.

5)      Players that sell 15 cards by August 21 will be dismissed after practice on that day.  Players that have not sold the minimum 15 cards must participate in the Blitz Day selling activities from 12pm to 3pm that day.

If you have any questions, please contact Craig Roxas at Craig.Roxas@tellabs.com

Thank you for your continued support of the Lockport football program!

Place cash or checks (payable to “Lockport Football Boosters”) in an envelope with the player’s name and squad (Fr/Soph/V) written on the front of the envelope.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SELL ON BLITZ DAY IF YOU SELL YOUR 15 CARDS  PRIOR TO BLITZ DAY – AND YOU GET FREE SUBS BY MEETING CHECKPOINT DATES

I would like announce that Dan Duzan has graciously offered to serve as the new Vice President of the Booster Club to fill the vacancy that was left by Mike Pattison.

Thanks again, Dan, and welcome to the LTHS Football Booster Club Board!

The booster membership form is now available on-line.  We strongly encourage you to become a member of the football boosters.  The high school athletic budget alone cannot pay for the coaching staff.  Coach Kooi relies heavily on the Booster Club to provide funds (through membership and fundraising) to pay for the coaches and assist with other team needs.   Active membership is also a great way to provide for our student athletes, obtain information, as well as opportunities to meet other families and become a part of our special football program.

Simply print it out, complete and either mail it to:  P.O. Box 54, Lockport, IL  60441; or you can drop it off at our next booster meeting, which is held on the 1st Monday of each month, drop it off at the spirit wear table at the home football games, or turn it in to one of the board members.
