2013 Hit-A-Thon

Posted by Dylan Gaffney at Jan 22, 2013 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Dear Katy Tiger Baseball Fans, Family and Friends;

The 2013 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 field 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 2 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 player 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 to the Katy Baseball Program.

2nd: Straight Donations:  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 the help and hard work of these young men, we can make our 2013 season one of 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 soon!

Yours in Baseball,

Coach McPherson

We will have a parent meeting for the parents of the players that made one of the teams on Wednesday, January 30th in the West Campus Cafeteria.  This is a manditory meeting for all parents.  We will pass out schedules and maps to games, as well as go over all rules and regulations.

The weight room and the baseball field will be open for your use after school.  There is not much time left, so make the most of it.  Get your arms and legs in shape!
