I would like to extend an invitation for your family and you to attend the 10th annual Elkins baseball family day/hit-a-thon fundraiser. This big event is scheduled for Saturday, March 24th, starting at 9:30 a.m. Players should report to the fields by 9 a.m. We will once again be featuring a hit-a-thon and a home run hitting contest. The players will take team pictures to be used in the yearbook. Order forms will be sent home the week prior for those wishing to purchase photos.
Please plan on staying for a hot dog lunch after the hit-a-thon. Meals deals will include two dogs, chips and a drink for adults and players. The Knights Baseball Club will treat players to lunch. The price for adults is $5 and children 12 and under can get one dog, chips and a drink for $3.
As part of the hit-a-thon, the boys will be seeking donations to help fund the replacement of decaying field equipment and repair of the facilities. The expectation for each player is to raise a minimum of $300. To achieve this, players should ask family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers to pledge either a flat donation or pledge an amount “per foot” that the player hits during the hit-a-thon (e.g. 250 feet x .10 + $25). A pledge form is attached. Pledge forms need to be turned in at the beginning of the hit-a-thon. Maintaining a program of the caliber that Elkins High School Baseball team has established requires a big financial commitment. Your financial support will help make these purchases possible. Please have your player turn in all of his pledge money by March 31st. Checks should be made out to Knights Baseball Club.
The Elkins High School Baseball tradition of excellence is made possible through the hard work and dedication of our players and coaching staff as well as the support of the families and community.
We look forward to this event each year and what it will mean to our program’s future. See you on March 24th.
