Dear Members of the Bates family ...and that includes new and old!
We need your help with a very exciting and fun project to raise substantial funds in the fall. At this time we are looking for members to help up build, promote and sell our first annual Kickball tournament, yes you read right a kickball tournament. Based on a preliminary cost estimate and models of success from other tournaments, we believe we could net over $10,000 to the school in one weekend.
Kickball - the game we all played in grade school - is the fastest growing adult sport in the country and we want to produce Anne Arundel County's first tournament in Crofton MD at Bell Branch Park during Labor Day weekend.
To pull this off, we need a solid group to be the Core committee. We already have 3 folks committed, but we are looking for about ten individuals total. Some of the duties/talents we will need are:
- Sponsorships
- Publicity
- Concessions logistics
- Logo development / tee shirt sales,
- Event day operations
- Budget management and
- Volunteer recruitment to work on the day of the event.
Please don’t let the fancy titles scare you away, functions are a lot easier then they sound. This will be an ongoing summer project and it will be a lot of fun.
So let me hear from you.
Sincerely,
Steve Conyer

Presidents Note: Steve presented this to me last week and the PTA General Mtg last night. While at first I thought he was crazy, I am sold that with less work than we have put toward other events we could raise a substantial amount of money for the school. We have the benefit of Steve's expertise working in Recs & Parks and with the Crofton Athletic League. With his leadership and expertise, I think we could build this into an awesome event without too much drama! Please contact Steve or me if you think you can help with this new fundraising event.
