Announcement
Dear Katy Tiger Baseball Fans, Family, and Friends:
The 2012 baseball season is upon us and our players and coaches are very excited about the great opportunities to have another successful season. We would like for you to be a part in helping the Tigers achieve their goals. As we have done in the past, the Katy Tiger Baseball Program will raise money to help fund the cost of equipment, supplies, and projects to improve our facilities and maintain it's rating as one of the top high school baseball programs and facilities in Texas. Due to the expense of these items, we are asking for your support.
There are three ways individuals may donate to our program:
1st - Player Pledges: Each player will get 5 swings to see how far he can hit the ball. We will then measure the distance to where the ball landed in the air. In advance, each player will have obtained pledge forms filled out by family, friends and supporters. Each pledged amount will then be multiplied by his longest hit. For example, if a players gets 2 pledges, one for $0.30 per foot and one for $0.10 per foot, and the longest ball he hits at the Hit-A-Thon is 300 feet, then the $0.30 sponsor would donate $90.00 and the $0.10 sponsor would donate $30.00, for a total of $120.00 for the Katy Baseball Program.
2nd - All-Star Guest Pledges: In addition to each of our Tiger players taking a turn at bat, we will have two guests, former Tigers (TBA), collecting pledges for each home run they hit during the Hit-A-Thon. They will be given 10 swings and you can pledge a specific amount per homerun by one or both of them.
3rd - Straight Donation: You can take all the guesswork out of it and donate any amount of money you choose to the program. The amount will not be determined by the hitting distances or home runs.
With your help and the hard work of these young men, we can make our 2012 season the most successful baseball season ever and help these young men make memories that they will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you at the ballpark often!
Yours in Baseball,
Coach McPherson
