Lisa Shipp will send out a Sign-Up Genius email to get breakfast item donations from the parents. We will have a meet & greet for parents that are new, and introduce them to the Boosters.

Free-Throw-a-Thon: this fundraiser is ran by Coach MacGowan. The players get pledges for how many free -throws they can make. It is November 16th @ 10:00am. We have three volunteers to collect money from the players on Friday November 22nd at school. Freshman-Cinda, JV-Kim Murphy, Varsity-Wendy Clark. The money the boys raise will pay for game day sweats, for all levels. The players must collect a minimum, set by coach, in order to get their sweats. If the player comes up short, he will be charged for his sweats.

PV Invitational Tournament: The schedule is now available on the website. This tournament is another BIG fundraiser put on by Coach MacGowan, with the help of Boosters. This tournament runs the week of Thanksgiving. The Boosters host the Hospitality Room, which is all set up and decorated in the gym classroom, where we serve meals to all the coaches, referees, score keepers, announcers, bus drivers. It has become quite popular. We have two meals being donated, thanks to Firesky Resort. We need a meal donated for Friday, and we will have a parent hosted Mexican Themed Potluck on Saturday. If anyone has a contact with a pizza joint, or subs, please contact Lisa Shipp @
