Important Fund Raising News

The Event:

On Saturday, April 19^th, Menʼs Lacrosse will hold a pancake breakfast fundraiser at the local Applebee's at 9921 Ormsby Station Road (off Hurstbourne Pkwy across from UPS). Tickets will be sold for $5 each. All Junior classmen and below will be required to sell 4 tickets each or buy out for $16.00. Any additional tickets sold will be credited to player accounts at $4 per ticket (Applebee's gets $1 per ticket). 20 players will be needed as servers/bus-boys at the fundraiser and will earn an additional $10 credit on their account. This is a great opportunity to lower your player fees for next season and help the team meet its financial obligations. Tickets will be distributed at practice tomorrow through Coach Wallace. (Senior families...no requirement from you as this is for next season, but please support the team by purchasing and participating in the event.)

Tickets:
Each player will receive an envelope with their name containing 10 tickets. The players would then return the cash from the tickets sold and any unsold tickets in the same envelope to Dave Cummings Saturday morning, April 19th. Any player needing additional tickets can contact Dave at dc3802@aol.com or 502-262-4365.

Servers:
This will be limited to the first 20 players to contact Dave via e-mail. If someone volunteers after all spots are filled they will get first right-of-refusal on the next pancake fundraiser. If we do not get enough volunteers, then players will be assigned. Remaining players that are not assigned will be on the list for the next fundraiser. This will ensure that all players carry the burden of working the fundraisers. Important to note that if they show up to work but didn't contact Dave, they will not be eligible for the incentive. As with last time, we will need a few parents to help out.

Financial Details:

The last pancake breakfast fundraiser made $1,400 for the team/players. The reality is that this fundraiser can easily benefit the player that wants to sell beyond the minimum requirement. For example, a player that sells a total of 14 tickets (for easy math) and works as a server will generate $5x14=$70 in ticket revenue. Yet, the player will receive back to his account $10 for serving and $4x10=$40 for the excess tickets for a grand player total of $50. Applebee's receives $14 if all ticket holders show up. This leaves the team a whopping $6 to the general fund. The boys did a great job last time and were on-the-ball in their duties. In return, your friends and family received something of value and enjoyed being served.
