I would like to post the following information about our new fundraising program for youth sports teams:

 

There is a new Fundraising Program in Texas. Meridian Media Group has developed a fundraising program primarily for public school sports teams and clubs, and other non-profit youth sports organizations.

The kit contains 200 $10.00 gift cards to one of our partner restaurants inside of our "Thank You" brochure which contains funny cartoons and inspirational quotes. The cost of the kit is $798 which is $3.99 per $10.00 gift card.

All you do is ask for at least a $10.00 donation in exchange for a $10.00 gift card. Your organization will net at least $1,202.00 which is a 60% profit. Shipping & handling are FREE.

    * It's a fun and easy way to raise funds and a fantastic alternative to candy bars, cookie dough or wrapping paper. (non-perishable)

    * This only requires one trip (no delivery at a later date)

    * Compact size is easy to carry, store and distribute.

Larry Johnson Memorial Hoop Fest 

June 27-29, 2008 

 

 

We wanted to make you aware of a special basketball tournament that is being held in the Houston area June 27-29, 2008 benefiting the Larry Johnson Memorial Fund.


Larry Johnson was a coach, administrator, counselor, and - above all - an advocate for countless young lives.  Our community lost Larry far too soon.  He is survived by Pam, Marquis, and Jerrod...and so many more lives that he touched. 

 

The Larry Johnson Memorial Hoop Fest is dedicated to preserving

Larry's memory and continuing his legacy.

 

The tournament takes place June 27-29, 2008 and is open to 13U through 16U boys' teams.  The entry fee is $395 per team. 

 

There will be Champion and Runner-Up t-shirts for 1st and 2nd place, and one "Board Award" for the player, regardless of age group, who shows the most passion and assertiveness rebounding.

 

In addition, there will be a special Friday Barbecue Plate Dinner ($8 per plate) on Friday night, June 27 from 5pm-9pm at Atascocita High School.

All proceeds go to the Larry Johnson Memorial Fund.

 

For more information or to register by credit card, please call John Lopez at 713-494-0073, or send a check for $395 made to "Larry Johnson Memorial Fund" to:
