Dear Parents of Assumption BVM Students,

By sending your child/children to Assumption School, you are choosing a Christ-centered education that is second to none in the area. With the opening of our new Family Life Center, we now have the opportunity to provide the best athletic experience in the area as well. We offer every sport available by any other Catholic school.

With this new facility it became very apparent that the Athletic Director and Home and School alone would be hard pressed to do all the things it would take to run a top notch athletic program at Assumption. Thus, the Assumption Athletic Boosters Club, (AABC) was established in 2003.

The Mission Statement of the AABC is:

"THE ASSUMPTION ATHLETIC BOOSTERS CLUB IS A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION TO SUPPORT QUALITY ATHLETICS THROUGH FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES TO HELP THE SCHOOL CHILDREN GROW SPIRITUALLY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY THROUGH TEAM WORK, LEADERSHIP AND FAIR PLAY.”

At Assumption we have opted to offer our athletic programs without any “Pay for Play” costs to the families. STEWARDSHIP/VOLUNTEERS are what will keep it this way. We NEED your help. We are growing and your involvement will make a difference. These areas are in need of your
assistance:

*concession management
*field manager
*equipment manager
*communications coordinator

In order to provide funds for our programs, the AABC conducts a major fund raiser each year. In addition, we do have 3-4 Paper Drives throughout the year, and we provide a Santa Breakfast for free in early December for all parishioners.

Our Fund Raiser is the annual 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. It is held in the Church parking lot. It has been a lot of fun and a great event these first 3 years. Sponsorships are a MAJOR part of this program. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, about more information to sponsor, please give us a call. Volunteers are needed and make this event a success. Plus you WILL have fun!


Here are a few of the things the AABC has paid for so far:

*New Basketball Uniforms
*New Soccer Jerseys
*Ice Machine for Family Center
*Missals for Church
*Coaches Shirts
*Basketballs, Volleyballs, and other equipment.
*League and Tournament Fees
*Baseball Uniforms

*Baseball/Softball Pitching Machine

*Refinishing the Family Life Center floor

As noted in the Mission Statement, the AABC is a volunteer organization. WE NEED YOU!!! The more folks we have to help with our events, the easier it is for all of us. Plus did we mention it’s FUN. The AABC meets on the 2nd Monday of each month in the Church Activity Center. Meetings start at 7:30PM and run about an hour and a half. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Mark your calendar now to come to the next meeting and check us out. We welcome the support. And you do not have to have a child participating in sports. So all K thru 4th grade parents are welcome too.

For Volunteer or Sponsorship information or any question you might have, please contact Ted Kuzma, President, 874-7279 . We welcome your input and support.

THANK YOU, AABC
