| Hoop-A-Thon
Details
High School Varsity basketball teams (Both Boys and Girls) are
invited to participate. Each participant is responsible for
finding a minimum of 7 sponsors to pledge a monetary amount
per made free throw, or a straight pledge. On Hoop-A-Thon day
there will be 3 participants at each basket and they will have
60 minutes to shoot 100 free throws each. Once you know how
many members of your team will be able to participate you can
call and sign up for a start time. The times are as follows:
9-10am, 10-11am, 11-12pm, 12-1pm, 1-2pm. Please don’t
wait to the last minute because the spots might be filled up!
Coaches Role
We encourage coaches to participate as well in the event….don’t
be shy! Because you have the best access to each participant,
we are asking that you collect the sponsorship money within
a week after the event, or by November 13. Please note that
all checks should be made out to the Trent Tucker Non-Profit
Organization. We appreciate your cooperation in this fundraiser
and hope that you do participate in this exciting event.
INCENTIVES
To embrace the importance of TEAM, we are throwing in an incentive
to make your free throws. Trent Tucker has agreed to facilitate
a basketball practice for the TEAM who makes the most free throws
on November 3. Therefore, the more TEAM members you have participating,
the better chance you will have to have Trent come to your school!
We only have 210 spots for the day, so get signed up!
Also, there will be an award for the boy and girl who have the
highest monetary pledges post Hoop-A-Thon.
