Editor,
The Polson High School’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club had a very successful fundraiser this past Friday night. It was FCA’s first annual teacher vs. student volleyball/basketball event with a spaghetti dinner and silent auction.
We are very fortunate to live in a town where local businesses are so generous with their products and services to help out our youth. There were 34 businesses that donated gifts totaling more than $1,500. Many of the owners and managers of the businesses also attended the event, and we are very thankful for their support. The fantastic food on the menu also drew spectators out for the event. The homemade pasta was donated from our local pasta factory “Country Pasta,” and Polson resident Jim Harrod stepped in and donated his culinary magic with his famous homemade spaghetti sauce. We also received a very generous discount from the manager of Super One Foods, Gary Collinge. Super One has frequently assisted the club out with various other functions, for which we are very grateful. Special thanks also go to Jim Steiner, the school district food service director, who helped us coordinate the menu and provided his expertise in use of the middle school kitchen.
It was a very fun and successful night and I know the dollars raised will make a difference in what FCA calls their four Cs: campus, community, coaches and camps. We sincerely appreciate the generosity from all who attended and/or donated. We hope to see you next year, and again, a heartfelt thank-you for all the business donations; it is businesses like yours that make a difference in our community and schools. Congratulations to the amazing teachers who proved they “still got game” … and didn’t need EMS services.
