The South Saint Paul Football program is facing significant financial challenges, limited resources, and having to make the tough choices like cancelling the team camp at UMD as well as the annual lock-in, which have been time-honored traditions these boys look forward to every year. The SSP Football Boosters have long enjoyed great support and a multitude of fundraising opportunities in the past. However, the pandemic and its many repercussions have constrained our efforts. With the exception of the mask fundraiser last year and the boys selling discount cards, we have not been able to hold events like the Super Breakfast at Tinucci's and the Football Fundraiser at the Croatian Hall, that bring in one-time significant dollars to support the needs of the Football program. Additionally, being unable to run concessions last season put a huge strain on the program.
We have found a company running online raffles, and they have had some success with area high school programs such as Woodbury Boys Basketball. We would like to see Packer Nation come together in the same way, have some fun, and in typical Packer fashion - take it to the next level! In an effort to still provide our boys with the equipment and amenities necessary throughout the season, we are introducing the Packer Nation Football Raffle. It is each Booster's charge to leave the program a little better than they found it. It is our hope to build the program back up to pre-pandemic levels
During the 2021-2022 Season and our Post-Season Road to State, we would like to help fund short-term goals such as our boys' post-game nutrition, expand strength & conditioning for all grade levels, and fund our team photographer who provides quality game photos for players and families. Our long term needs and goals for this fundraiser are new uniforms as they have not had them in approximately 5 years, technology needs, a team camp, and covering the added cost of expanding the year-end banquet to all grade levels. Additionally, it is our hope to return to the practice where the Boosters are able to cover the cost of post-game meals, rather than having these costs subsidized by the parents themselves.
We appreciate your support in the stands and now we are asking for your support for the program that helps put our boys under the lights every Friday night in the Fall.
Good Luck!
