Middletown Youth Football Fund Raiser
Posted on 08/17/2012 11:27AM
I hope we can pull everyone out for this event due to the fact that our kids that are active in sports need the support of everyone to enable them to compete with other kids their age. My son was in Football for 3 years and it was a great thing to see my boy grow into a little tiger out there. I believe too many kids mine included spend way too much time on the video games instead of being out there playing sports. Baseball, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Golf, whatever it is your child is interested in we need to support that. There are families that can't afford the expense of putting their child into one or more of these sports every year. It is rather a costly experience with special equipment to buy every year due to them growing like weeds and safety equipment like batting helmets, baseball gloves and bats along with shoulder pads, gloves, and personal protection items. Believe me there have been times when we ate beans for a week so that our kids could get the things they needed and sometimes required to play the sport. So, fund raisers like this are important to offset the expense of all the uniforms etc. so they can go out and be competitive and look good and be safe while playing and getting the exersise they so need. I hope someone reads this and decides yeah that they understand and come on out Sunday the 26th and help support Youth Football this time. Next time it might be something else. But one thing is for sure, We need to get our kids out there being active with other kids and getting the team building experience that is needed in todays world. Besides it's a nail biting experience watching your child out there doing his or her best to make you proud and and often times more worried about if you are watching them then paying attention to the game. Good Luck Hope to see you and your family on Sunday August 26th at Middletown Park. You won't regret it. And you will hear some good music by my band.
