THE SUCCESS OF OUR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM AND FUNDRAISING EFFORTS HAVE ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE TO KEEP REGISTRATION COSTS DOWN AND STILL MAINTAIN OUR EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY NEEDS.

HFG SOFTBALL IS A 100% ALL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

GET INVOLVED! Hickory-Fountain Green Softball is “all about the girls” and participation is key to the success of any program. We encourage the girls to strive to better their level of play and make it a positive and FUN experience for them. As parents, we not only support the girls in practice and game play, but also by volunteering our time in other small ways to help the program remain strong.  Please let us know where you could volunteer your time by e-mailing hfgsoftball@comcast.net or noting it at the time of registration.  Committees are forming now.

COMMITTEES

Special Events: Assist in organizing either of our two main events with the planning of food, entertainment, scheduling, etc.

Opening Day 2010 is Saturday, April 24th            All-Star Day is Saturday, June 12th

HFG 2nd Annual Invitational All Star Tournament June 19-20th

Sponsorship: Assist with the planning and visiting of community businesses to ask for their support of our program.  Present our sponsorship packages and gather their information for use in our different mediums (program booklet, website, signs, certificates).

Coaches and Assistant Coaches: There is always a need for coaches and assistants, who better to work with the girls? If you have the time, skills, and desire to work with a team of girls, consider volunteering to coach.

Umpires: Parent volunteer umpires can be used for any age group depending upon your level of knowledge and comfort with the game.  If you are willing to “call a game”, please let us know.

CURRENT FUNDRAISING ACTIVITY

For the year 2010, we will be sponsoring a raffle with three opportunities to win cash prizes.     Cash prizes will be $500 for First Prize, $300 for Second Prize, and $200 for Third Prize. The drawing will be held on Opening Day, April 24th, 2010. During registration, each registered player will be given a minimum of 5 raffle tickets to sell to family, friends, neighbors, etc. at a cost of $5 per ticket. Parents will have the choice to either:

1)  Pay for the five tickets at the time of registration ($25 extra in addition to the registration fee), sell the tickets and keep the money, and then turn in only the stubs when they are collected at Parent’s Night in March

2)  For those that prefer not to pay in advance, all money and stubs must be turned in on Parent’s Night.

Please place money and stubs in an envelope with daughter’s name, age group, and coach on the front.
