As you know we are currently in the midst of a major fundraising campaign to renovate our new wrestling room. We have set up several fundraisers in August, September and November to reach our goal. None of our fundraisers require our families to sell or purchase a thing. They are all free to us. All we need to do is participate by either test driving a Ford, working a poker night for the GLWC, and collecting seatbacks at MIS.

This combination of fundraisers will ensure that the team has a well equipped wrestling room AND new mats for tournaments. The mats will be used from Seniors all the way down to the littlest GLWC wrestler.

EVERYONE has to do the test drive below if they can, but the rest, just look at the dates and start thinking where you might be able to spare a few hours. Click on GLWC August 17- 20 2011 POKER to see an example of the time required to volunteer for the poker nights.

Thank you. You are helping us all leave a legacy for today’s wrestlers and into the future for tomorrow’s young Mules!

DATES TO REMEMBER

July 11th – Spirit Club meeting at 6 p.m. at the new wresting room. We’ve got a lot going on. Come meet the new Spirit Club Officers, find out what’s going on, and offer your talents up for the team! The meeting takes one hour.

July 18th- All wrestlers, coaches and parents who are available please meet at Grogan’s on Telegraph at 10:20 a.m. Grogan is presenting us a check for $5,000 for the test drive fundraiser we did in May. There will be news crews there so wear your Bedford Wresting T-Shirt! This is not a fundraiser just a great chance to thank Dodge and Grogan.
 
August 6th – We need 300 households!That’s right we’re doing it again, another test drive. This time Bronde’s is helping us out and we need one person PER household up to 300 households to get $6,000. In other words we get 20 bucks a house! But we have to make sure EACH of us gets 10 or 15 of our neighbors and relatives to take five minutes out of their day and test drive a Ford at the BHS parking lot. It runs from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Same as before we don’t have to purchase a thing – just participate and we get a GREAT donation to renovate the wrestling room.

August 13th- Weight Room Dedication Day. Please join Mule Muscle for the dedication of the weight room on the campus of BHS. It’s the culmination of so much work by wrestling families. Without the weight room there’d be no wrestling room and without the wrestlers there’d be no weight room! Please be there to see it named AND to be publicly thanked for your Pepsi Refresh Efforts. We’re pretty sure there’s a free Pepsi involved. Time to be announced.
 
August 17, 17, 19, and 20th – Poker Nights. Four people a night in two shifts. So basically you work 5 hours, just COUNTING in the air conditioning and GLWC could earn hundreds of dollars a night to help pay for new mats.
 
August 21st – Second MIS Race. Free day at the race. Money for the season. No brainer!
 
August 31, Sept 1, Sept 2 – Poker Nights. Four people a night in two shifts. So basically you work 5 hours, just COUNTING in the air conditioning and GLWC earns money to help pay for new mats.
 
November 27, 28, 29 – Poker Nights. Four people a night in two shifts. So basically you work 5 hours, just COUNTING while seated comfortably and GLWC earns money for the final tweaks to the room before the season begins!

 We expect EVERYONE to bring people to the test drive since that’s 300 houses needed. This only takes ten minutes.

We understand there are a lot of dates. Just get out your calendar and see where you might be able to pitch in.  In these tough economic times we’re working hard to fund the teams needs without asking anyone to reach further into their pockets. We can get this done by working hard instead of paying big!
