Red Bank Middle School Athletics Foundation Fundraiser

Event Description

 

HELP KEEP YOUTH SPORTS ALIVE IN RED BANK

 

How would you like a chance to win a 46” flat-screen TV?

Or a sports package complete with two rounds of golf, two autographed footballs, and tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Giants?

Or maybe you’re looking for a Red Bank getaway: A night at the Oyster Point Hotel, tickets to a show at Count Basie and gift certificates to the best shops, restaurants and spa that Red Bank has to offer?

The Red Bank Middle School Athletics Foundation is offering a chance to win all of these, while at the same time raising money for a really great cause: To keep the sports program alive at the Red Bank Middle School.

Two years ago, the middle school was forced to cut its sports program, one of the many casualties of the drastic reductions in state aid. At a school where more than 80% of students receive free or reduced lunch, most families are unable to make up the shortfall. That’s where the Foundation comes in. We helped restore the sports program at the middle school two years ago, but we need your support to keep it going through the 2012-13 school year.

To that end, we are sponsoring a drawing for three fabulous prizes. And if you need an extra incentive to buy a $22 ticket (or $100 for a book of five), we’re offering three great reasons to help a very worthy cause:

1)      The odds are better than gambling in AC – and the prizes are pretty cool too. For a $20 ticket, you have the chance to win one of three packages worth $900 to $1,500.  

2)      You can do your part to keep kids fit and active. With childhood obesity and diabetes becoming epidemics, youth sports are more important than ever. Plus, studies have shown that sports help to improve grades, boost self esteem and build leadership skills.

3)      You can actually see your donation at work. Have you ever wondered where your money goes when you donate to big national charities? There’s no need to wonder when giving to your local community. In this case, when you see Red Bank kids kicking a soccer ball, wearing their basketball uniforms or practicing baseball, you can take great pride in knowing that your donation helped keep their sports teams going. Without help from the Foundation, these sports programs would not exist.

The drawing for the prizes will be held June 7, 2012. Each ticket offers a chance to win one of three prizes:

1)      A 46-inch, flat-screen Samsung TV, with a retail value of $1,500.

2)      “The Monster Sports Package,” which includes two regular season tickets to see the N.Y. Giants (parking included); four tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies/Washington Nationals game (parking also included); four tickets to a Lakewood Blue Claws game; a golf round for four at Deal Country Club and the Beacon Hill Country Club; and footballs autographed by NY Jets great LaDainian “L.T.” Tomlinson and Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams.

3)      “The Best of Red Bank,” which includes a night’s stay at the Oyster Point Hotel; two tickets to see comedian Bobby Collins at the Count Basie Theatre, including a pass for the Members Only Carlton Lounge; $100 gift certificates for Milagro Spa, Readies Fine Foods, Brothers Pizza, and  Prown’s Home Improvements; $50 gift certificates to YesterCades and Teak Restaurant; $25 gift certificates to No Joe’s Café, Foodtown, Pizza Fusion and Cupcake Magician; and a gift basket with a $10 gift certificate from Funk & Standard.
