Fundraising Opportunity
Players have the opportunity to sell SpiritCups! We will be selling offically licensed SpiritCups and SpiritTravelCups featuring the country's top schools and teams (a catalog will be available at the orientation meeting.) All funds raised go directly to the player and their fees. Players earn $8.00 per order.
The fundraiser will begin Thursday, October 26 and run through Sunday, December 3rd. Please bring money and order forms to your practice. Delivery will be made on or before December 22nd. We do not have practice that weekend due to the holiday so there will be no guarantee for "Christmas" time delivery.
Players will turn in their orders and payments to their coaches on or by December 3rd. We ask that all personal checks be made out to you and that one check to Fox Valley Thunder be turned in by you with the amount due. Please make sure the players name and team are written on the order form.
