There will also be a drawing after each game for a $25 gift card. Kelly Williams was the lucky winner from week 1. Reminder that all children get into the game for free.

Adding Events to Phone Calendar
We are also starting to sign up volunteers to usher the Kent State Football Games. Remember this is how we raise money for our students. We don’t do any other fundraisers. The link is below. HSA will be doing a drawing at the end of the 1st semester and again at the end of second semester. Each time you volunteer in the classroom or event you earn a ticket for the drawing. Ushering games will earn 5 tickets for the drawings. Some of the prizes include Zip City Family Pass, Kent Lanes Family Pass, Movie Tickets, Gift Cards and many more exciting gifts. There are 5 home games and we need 20 ushers per game.
2019-2020 Fundraising at Holden
Each year we are lucky to be able to usher the Kent State Football and Basketball games. We are able to raise around $12,000 for HSA. This means we don’t ask families to sell items that others don’t need and we would only end up getting about 40% of the money collected. The only thing we need from you is your time to usher games. It is easy to do and can be explained at Supply Night or even the day of the game. If each person did one game each year it would be a big help so the same people wouldn’t have to do multiple games. The money raised has allowed us to provide so many opportunities for our students. Our goal moving forward is to provide a climbing wall in the gym. Please click on the link below to sign up for a game or you can sign up at Supply Night.
