Timon to hold a free-throw fundraiser

Bishop Timon-St. Jude High School’s basketball team, the back-to-back Monsignor Martin Champion team, is headed to the state playoffs once again.

The South Buffalo Catholic high school invites the public to participate in its unique fundraiser, featuring every player and coach from the varsity, JV and freshman basketball teams. All net proceeds will be used to offset the costs of the three-day state playoff trip March 7-9 in the Metro New York area, as well as purchase equipment for all three teams.

Here’s how it works. On Tuesday, March 5, each player and coach will shoot 100 free throws witnessed by coaches and teammates.

• Each player is asked to solicit at least 2-3 sponsors (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, alumni, friends, neighbors, etc.) to pledge a minimum of $1 per made free throw. You can pledge more than $1 if you’d like!
• Sponsors from social media can reach out to Coach Weiser at weiser@bishoptimon.com about supporting a specific player or being assigned to a player to sponsor.
• Each player will submit his list of sponsors to Coach Rowe and Coach Weiser on Tuesday, March 5 by 3 p.m.
• Once the contest is completed, each player will notify his sponsors of his results. Payments will be collected by each player. Payments can be made in cash, sent via Venmo to “BTSJ athletics,” or by check made out to “Timon Athletics.” Please put “Basketball Fundraiser“ and the player’s name you are sponsoring as the memo for Venmo or checks.
• If you would like to just make a straight monetary donation that is greatly appreciated as well. You can make payments in any of the ways listed above or click the link.

 Any questions, contact Coach Rowe at rowe@bishoptimon.com

We greatly appreciate your support on this Championship run! Let’s go Tigers!
