Thank you to the student athletes, parents and coaches who attended our monthly Sports Booster meeting last night.
We had several self funded sports attend last night to request funds for their athletic program.
First up was Bark River Harris Baseball team with the request of $1000 to help with this year’s travel cost to their games.
Second, was our Bark River Harris Softball team with a request of funds to help purchase a new bat. The funds requested were $530
Last was a few boys from our BRH Wrestling team. The boys were requesting funds to help them to be able to attend one of the upcoming wrestling camps at CMU this summer, with a cost of $770 for the two day camp.
All three requests were approved and we had some very happy and appreciative student athletes.
Our goal is to be able to help all of our athletic teams and student athletes with some financial assistance throughout the year or before their season starts. When needing to request funds, there is a “Funds Request” form and that form can be obtained by contacting our AD, Jeanne Lippens or reaching out to any one of us on the BRH Sports Boosters Board.
Our last board meeting for this school year will be held Monday May 11th at 7pm in the library.
Also, we do have three upcoming volunteer opportunities for our track season for our parents and student athletes.
May 7th~ Junior High track meet
May 11th and 15th~High School track meet
If you would like to volunteer for any of the days listed above, please reach out to Michelle (847) 927-1689. This would also be a great opportunity for any student athlete to work in concessions to earn money to be put towards any athletic camp they wish to attend this summer or fall.
