Cheer Scholarship BB Game

KRAM1 · February 29, 2016

I just had to start a new thread to post the great news from the Cheer Scholarship Basketball Game held last Saturday...but, before I do, I want to once again sincerely thank our Sponsors Eastside and Oak Street, Cross Timbers Equipment and Addison Transportation for their generous support. I want to thank all our donors, all our silent auction item donors, all the Cheer Team parents who helped with the silent auction, our volunteers who manned the clock, scorers table, concession stand and who helped collect funds after the silent auction closed. I want to thank our three great referees...all volunteers...Roger Franklin, Troy Kokjohn and Matt Walsh...great job guys. Also...thanks to everyone who came out to support the event and to bid on our silent auction items...you folks rock? Of course we must say thanks to the folks in UNT Athletics who support what we do...especially to Paul Batchelder who is my go to guy in Athletics for this event.

And, last but far from least...how about all those folks who sign up to play in the event...cannot thank these guys enough for how they support this event...we have some like Emmitt01, who have played in all six games we have held and others who have played multiple times. This year's game was, I think, the best we have seen to date. Well done guys.

And, now, drum roll please.....the net amount we will be able to provide the Cheer Scholarship Fund is...$ 5,247.00! That shatters our prior record!!! Thanks so very much...lots of work, but oh so very much fun. We are making a difference for these great student-athletes. Everyone involved should be proud of what they are doing to help pay it forward in support of UNT student-athletes. Thanks so much...and...see you next year for the 7th Annual Basketball Classic!

Good job and great event! Next year could you post a reminder about bringing cash for the shots at half court etc? I totally forgot about it. :)

Well, after the game this year...how could I not go for year 7? Also, I think you have been in for all six games as well, right? And, you are usually one of the first, if not THE FIRST, to commit to play. Awesome, man...your support means a great deal to me. And, you are definitely the first to commit for year 7! Got ya down. Gracias!
