Dear Mount View High School Alumni,
My name is Marsha Rhodes and I am currently the president of the MVHS Baseball Boosters. We recently had a meeting and discussed ways to reach out to the public to assist us with monetary donations for the Mount View High School Golden Knight baseball team, under the direction of veteran coach, Nick Shaffron. We agreed to reach out to the almuni of the feeder schools of MVHS, as well as MVHS alumni, and ask for assistance in this matter.
Support from the community is necessary to help cover the cost of fielding a high school team. The McDowell Co. Board of Education does not have any funding available for sports activities. Therefore, we are solely reliant on donations from good people like you.
Here are a few of the expenses we are facing just this season alone and your donations would be used for this. First we have to cover the cost of buses for transportation to away games -- average cost is $200-300 -- depending on the trip and we have 12 away games. We also feed the players after away games and funding is needed for that as well. This year we have also had to replace several pairs of pants at $10 a pair and jerseys at $14 a shirt. Coach Shaffron has also had to order baseballs and equipment for the season.
This year we are under an even larger burden. The maintenance dept. from the board office has advised Coach Shaffron that the scoreboard, which has been in place for many years, has been "patched" back together to the point it can't be patched anymore. So we are seeking a person and/or business that would be able to donate a new scoreboard for the field. Our concession stand has suffered a terrible blow since close of last season. Our refrigerator that we store all of our concessions stand supplies in has went out and we need a new popcorn machine.
The 2008/2009 baseball season kicks off on Thursday, March 19, 2009 at Pikeview. MVHS baseball season runs from 3/19/09 and concludes games at Nick Shaffron Field for sectionals the week of May 11-15, 2009. Last year MVHS baseball team won sectionals at the field. The team's goal is to reach the state tournament this year. Your help and support will make this a successful season for the team.
If you wish to make a donation, you may send your contributions to Mount View High School Baseball Boosters, c/o Nick Shaffron, 950 Mount View Road, Welch, WV 24801. Phone number to the school, where Coach Shaffron may be contacted, is 304-436-2939.
When you invest in our young people, you are investing in the future.
Thank you in advance for your support.
