Please Support Verona Field Hockey
Tax deductible
Dear friends,
In this season of giving, if the support, growth, development, strength, and empowerment of young ladies is something that is near and dear to your heart, please consider donating to the Verona Field Hockey team.
We hope this request finds you healthy as we near what is hopefully the end of COVID-19 restrictions. The Verona Field Hockey team is looking for your support to help us fund the 2021 season and keep the sport alive in Verona! 2020 was the team’s first year as a varsity sport, and the girls’ progression was amazing. Although there may not have been many wins, the girls gained a better understanding of the game, grew stronger in their skills, and learned to work as a team.
Because our sport is new to Verona High School, it receives no financial support from the school district. We rely on a combination of fundraising efforts, unavoidably high player fees, and the generosity of family and friends to pay for all expenses. Even though 2020 was a somewhat compressed season, the total cost was over $17,000! Thankfully, we were able to pay for the season with funds from previous fundraising efforts, but the physical limitations we all experienced in 2020 have dramatically depleted our funds going into the 2021 season.
In the past, we were able to raise thousands of dollars through car washes, canning drives, restaurant nights, and the massively successful Verona Idol amongst many other fundraisers. Unfortunately, the restrictions in place from the coronavirus truly hampered our ability to hold our usual fundraising events throughout the year. With our biggest fundraiser Verona Idol lost for 2020 and uncertain for 2021, we are hard-pressed to find an alternative way to generate such significant funds.
With some COVID-induced creativity, we were still able to safely raise ~$1500 through multiple restaurant nights and a fun virtual race supported by Golden Eagle Races. As we write this GoFundMe request, we are actively participating in a shoe drive fundraiser through the end of the year. (Information about the shoe drive can be found via this link: https://www.facebook.com/VeronaTrailblazers/photos/a.396843501027663/643152516396759)
We know that this year has been challenging for everyone in countless ways. Our hope is that you consider supporting the girls field hockey team in whatever way you can.
Sincerely,
The Verona Field Hockey Parents Association
