This year we will have 2 fundraisers. It is very important
for all families to participate to help our program earn money to go
toward team expenses. Please see details below, and if you have any
further questions please contact
Leah Narro.
Run-A-Thon (Friday, Feb 10 - Saturday, Feb 11)
| |
|
 |
- The Run-A-Thon will be held from 4:30pm Friday, Feb 10
to 4:30pm Saturday, Feb 11. Depending on weather, it will
start on the track or in the cafeteria, then move to the
gym around 9:30pm after the basketball games.
- Dinner for all athletes will be at 6:00 pm Friday in
the cafeteria. Parents who volunteered to bring food can
drop it off after school.
- Each athlete is required to raise $100 (ask neighbors,
friends, co-workers, etc. to make a donation). Donors can
give cash or write a check payable to AHS Track. Money
will be collected at practice on Tuesday, February 7th.
If you did not receive a Run-A-Thon, please contact
Leah Narro.
- Raising money through the Run-A-Thon makes it possible
for you to attend the meet in Florida (it will be the
Coaches' decision who attends, but if you don't raise the
money, you won't get the opportunity).
- Sign-up will be at practice Monday, January 30th.
Each athlete will run around 15-30 minutes each. Seniors
will get to pick their time slots first, then Juniors,
Sophomores, Freshmen. So Freshmen will probably be running
late at night and you will need to plan on spending the
night in the gym with your coaches, teammates and
chaperones or have your parents bring you for your
timeslot.

Mattress Fundraiser (Saturday, February 11)
 |
|
- New this year. Many schools have made significant
money with this fundraiser!
- Will be held Feb 11-12 from 10am-5pm in the
cafeteria. Track is responsible for Saturday & Girls
Soccer for Sunday. We will have a work schedule for
athletes.
- The mattress manufacturers are Restonic and
Southerland. They have been in business for a long time,
and have solid reputations. One has had 7 Consumer Reports
'Best Pick' Awards. Google them and check out their
reviews!
- These quality mattresses are sold for 30-60%
less than retail because we are doing their advertising
(no Superbowl ads to pay for!). They have full factory warranties.
- Mattresses are manufactured after the
order, and ready in 10-14 days. Delivery available
for $50. Floor models will be displayed during the sale.
- If someone is in the market for a mattress, encourage
them to come to our fundraiser! Handout our RED flyers as
much as possible so track will get credit. Also
download the
email_facbook_flyer to share with friends and family.
- If we get the word out, we can raise enough for new
uniforms.

Optional Fundraising at Verizon
There is another optional fundraiser. We know that fees are
expensive, and some parents may want the chance to earn some of the
fees back. AHS has a contract with Verizon Amphitheater where an
athlete's parents can work concessions and use the money to pay for
fees. If any parents are interested in this, please contact
Leah Narro or
Bridget Thorne.
