Benton Harbor Football Boosters
Donation protected
The Benton Harbor Football team started getting national attention in 2015, being featured on ESPN and Good Morning America after coming under the direction of Coach Elliott Uzelac. Prior to his arrival, the team hadn’t had a winning season since 1989 and had never made the Michigan High School Football playoffs. Coach Uzelac and his staff have since turned the team around compiling a 21-11 record while leading the Tigers to the Michigan High School Football playoffs in both 2015 and 2016.
Tigers Football requires financial assistance over and above what the school itself can afford. Those needs include money for academic tutors, food and nutrition, athletic training and supplies, equipment, assistant coaches, and transportation for higher education exploration. We are thankful that Coach Uzelac defers his salary payment as he feels his reward is the passion he instills in the kids to be better students, responsible young adults, and, of course, better football players. But he cannot do it alone, and we must support those who devote their time to these young men. Without this help, our students lose out on the athletic scholarships they deserve. These programs not only make for a strong football team, but also for strong young individuals ready for life after high school.
The Benton Harbor Football Boosters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established in 2016, and you can find us on facebook. Please consider donating to the boosters so that we may continue to supplement the Benton Harbor Football budget. Those wishing to be on the boosters mailing list may email us at [email redacted]. Offline donations may be made to "Benton Harbor Football Boosters” at P.O. Box 252, Benton Harbor, MI 49023. THANK YOU AND GO TIGERS!
