NFL SUPERMATCH  HUGE SUCCESS! ~ WE HAD 30 WISCONSIN TWISTER WINNERS AND YOUR  LEO T. JACKSON SCHOLORSHIP FUND IS GOING TO HAVE A GREAT 1st YEAR KICK OFF ~ THANK YOU DAVE CHARS AND TWISTER FAMILIES FOR A JOB WELL DONE ~ NOW ONTO HOOPS MANIA ~ GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE PLAYING HOOPS ********************** 

Twister Families,

The club is running two fundraisers this winter.

The first is called FootballMania Super Match which is modeled after the popular Super Bowl “squares” pools that many participate in on Super Bowl Sunday.  Ticket holders with a FootballMania Super Match ticket will receive four combinations of numbers from which they can try to match to the scores at the end of each quarter.  The more combinations a ticket holder matches, the more money they win!  The cost of each card is $5 and all proceeds will be dedicated to the Leo T. Jackson / Wisconsin Twisters Scholarship Fund which you will be hearing more about shortly.  You can find more information about the FootballMania Super Match at the following link: http://www.charitymania.com/FootballManiaSM.aspx

The second fundraiser is called HoopsMania, which many of you are familiar with from last winter.  HoopsMania is based on college basketball’s exciting post season tournament.  I had a lot of positive feedback last year with ticket holders having a blast while playing along with the game.  This year’s prize money is determined differently with pay-outs going to the top 28 cardholders, so there are many chances to win.  The cost of each of these cards is $10.  This fundraiser has two objectives: 1) Helping supplement player fees and sponsor donations (player fees do not cover the entire cost of putting a player on the field), and 2) The fundraiser gives families an opportunity to recoup some of their funds by requesting $7 be returned to the club for each ticket sold; therefore, Twister families can earn $3 for each $10 ticket sold.  I have attached a link to a sample ticket for more information:

Both of these fundraisers are web-based and very easy to follow.  Anytime you want to check the status of a ticket or access the digital music package offered on the site, visit the CharityMania website at http://charitymania.com and enter your ticket number.  The Twisters will contact all winning ticketholders whether they choose to follow their card on the website or not.

I plan on handing out tickets during Saturday practices and also plan on using parent reps/coaches to help pass out tickets.  If you would like tickets sooner, please contact me so that we can make arrangements.  Here is my contact information: dachars@scj.com, dachars@aol.com or call 835-2753.

Once again, I hope you take the opportunity to participate in these fundraisers.  I understand that some people may not have the occasion or may not feel comfortable selling tickets. If that’s the case, I hope you would consider purchasing a ticket or two for yourself or a family member.

Regards,

Dave Chars
