Dear Parents, Alumni, Faculty, Administrators, and Falcon Supporters,

We would like to encourage all to join the Hanford Falcons Sports Booster Club, a non-profit 501c(3) organization, for the 2013-14 school year. The Sports Boosters are organized to provide financial support to the Hanford High School (HHS) student-athletes. Last year's membership support enabled the Sports Boosters to complete capital projects across the HHS campus, which included constructing a Track storage building, installing concrete walkways and pads at the HHS soccer venue, and awarding $4,000 in college scholarships for the Bill Knirck Memorial Scholarship.

To accomplish more of these efforts, your generosity and support are needed. In 2013-2014, the Sports Boosters are working towards improving storage and concession facilities for the softball program. In addition, the Boosters will cover State Tournament expenses not included in the Associated Student Body (ASB) budget, plaques and trophies for athletic teams, senior recognition nights, and operating the concessions stands with half the proceeds going to HHS clubs and activities. The Sports Boosters are truly a "school" oriented organization as represented by their actions and donations.

The mechanisms to raise these funds are through our annual membership dues; the Fall Falcon Classic Golf Tournament that is held at the Horn Rapids Golf Course; Silent Auctions; working at the Benton-Franklin County Fair and Rodeo; Concessions operations; Basketball Pop Shoots; and 50/50 Raffles. Booster members receive discounts on these events along with discounted merchandise. Please sign up and join us for a great time and visit our Sports Boosters web site at www.hanfordfalconboosters.com for up to date Falcon schedules and results.

Thank you and GO FALCONS!!
