Blitz Day

After a long busy week, and you think, "oh I can sleep in", motherly duties tell you otherwise. We met up at BHS to give a helping hand in "Blitz Day" @ 9:00 a.m., it is a day that we drive the team around town to help finish selling "fundraiser cards". The boys are split into teams, to make it a bit competitive; Coach said this year's participation between players and parent volunteers was better than ever. I'm not sure of the total numbers, but I'm sure we brought in a lot of money for the program. Each sport has to do a fundraiser for its program, and football is no different. What I like best about "Blitz Day" is that it allows for players to get out in the community and sell their own cards, who don't have opportunities otherwise; it also allowed those who sold over the required "10" to work on selling more to go toward personal goals, if they sold at least "15" Coach is providing cleats for them, and anything above and beyond 15 will go toward other expenses this seasons for the player. With the economy being the way it is, it's nice to have a considerate leader who has the foresight to see and look for ways to assist all the players in the program. I know the Contreras family alone will save over $100.00, in the average price of UA cleats this year, and all Rob had to do was sell 5 additional cards, you can't beat that! It was a pleasure and a blessing to serve the boys and the program by being on Coach Rogers's team and driving them around town, no matter how tired I was and really, really, wanted to sleep in…opportunities like these, you know being around your teenage child, only come around once and a while, or at least when they welcome it, so why wouldn't a parent was to be a part of that?

Cherishing and relishing the moments,
