Fundraising Activities

Hello parents of the 2013 Mississauga North Tigers, Mite.

We have given our girls the opportunity to play baseball at a higher level than house or select. To ensure that they have success, we have a very dedicated and talented coach, who has given up 5 nights a week of his time to work with pitchers, catchers, individual batters, and on the team fielding.  The progress has been amazing, and comes at a cost.

A team meeting was held early this year with all of the parents, reminding us of not only the initial fees that needed to be paid, but the additional $7000.00 that was required.  These costs cover everything from practice facilities, uniforms, equipment and entry fees for the tournaments that our girls will play.

I put together this blog as it provides a central, and somewhat anonymous way to discuss fundraising.  I want to remind you all that EVERY parent is responsible in some way for fundraising.  I don't mind maintaining this and doing organization, but I don't want to be doing it in a vacuum.

Please - post  your thoughts here.  I have allowed for anonymous posting (with the caveat that I will be monitoring before the post is accepted).  We have a lot of ground to make up.  When I get a breakdown of what is remaining of the 7k to be raised, I will post it, but for now I am assuming that it needs to be that much.

My first thought is on a team dinner, with silent auction that friends and family could be invited to.  Each parent would be asked to donate an item for auction.  This can be a fun way to build some team unity, the parents to get to know each other a bit more, and an inexpensive way to raise money.

I am open to suggestions, in fact, I need them.

We have a Round 2 winner - Draw 6

Congratulations go out to Sonja B, supporting Michaela T, the first and only player to hit on all 7 numbers after 6 draws.  Please contact Leah to get the $580.00 Pot.

For those of you that have yet to give Leah the money you have gathered, please make sure that she get's it during practice this week.

Saturday March 2, 2013

Thanks to everyone for participating and raising funds.  As coach Tim mentioned in an email to the parents last week, we are still behind in our fundraising, and every little bit helps!
