2011 FALCON FUNDRAISING
Each year, it costs approximately $100K to run the Falcon programs. Our registration fees cover less than half of that. We count on fundraising to support our costs and each year, we try to develop a comprehensive fundraising program that minimizes the financial impact to our families. With the economic climate our expenses have increased with things such facility use fees. Each year we attempt to replace and upgrade our equipment and uniforms. In 2010, we replaced 60 helmets and refurbished more than 100 helmets to ensure the safety and well being of our players. We will also be providing Shock Doctor mouthpieces as an additional safety precaution. Additionally, the Falcons are one of a very few number of Pop Warner teams who are not subsidized by our townships! Your support is critical to ensuring we can continue to provide the best program possible for your child.
