Sacred Heart hosts an annual Christmas basketball tournament from December 26 through December 30. Teams from all over the Diocese—32 in all—participate.
The Christmas tournament is the Sacred Heart Athletic Association’s biggest fundraiser of the year and benefits all families whose children participate in sports. The Christmas tournament helps raise money to buy new uniforms, basketballs, soccer equipment, and volleyball nets, and helps maintain the gym building.
We have wanted for several years to paint the inside of the gym, but have had insufficient funds to do so. We would love at the end of this year to be able to afford this project. As such, we ask all families with a child participating in the Sacred Heart’s sports program to volunteer at least one time during the Christmas tournament. For those of you with young children or children who do not participate in sports, we would love to have you as well. Those with children in the tournament, are asked to volunteer two times.
We need many volunteers to make the tournament a success. The concession stand is very popular and we serve a variety of homemade foods and baked goods, so we need people to staff the concession stand all day. We need people at the door taking money, people selling 50/50 raffle tickets, people working the clock, setting up, cleaning up, etc. We would love your help during this week if you are able to spare the time!
In early to mid December, a “Sign Up Genius” website will be established and circulated among school personnel. This website makes it easy to sign up for volunteer shifts.
Please watch for information about signing up and whatever time you are able to give, we greatly appreciate it! Thank you and Merry Christmas. Hope to see you in the gym Christmas week.
