TEAM 1 Eagan Boys Basketball Free Throw A-Thon
FIRST ANNUAL EAGAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL FREE THROW-A-THON
This is our second year tackling a major fundraising event for the Eagan High School Boys Basketball Booster Club (EHSBBBC), but we could not be more excited!
All 51 players have been randomly assigned to five teams that represent seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen.
Each team will be working together to raise as much money as possible for the EHSBBBC through GoFundMe Charity donations as part of our First Annual Eagan High School Boys Basketball Free Throw-A-Thon.
For each GoFundMe Charity donation, we receive 97.8%!! In other words, the majority of your contribution will directly help us achieve our fundraising goals and support our program!
So What is a Free Throw-A-Thon??
In front of a crowd of their families and a gym filled with loud music, each player and coach shoots 100 free throws (20 at a time) as fans cheer and try to distract. Players/coaches who are NOT actively shooting free throws will be doing their best to distract the players/coaches who ARE shooting free throws!!
One parent will be at each of the eight baskets in the gym tracking each players made and missed free throws. At the end of the Free Throw-A-Thon, the top two players with the best free throw percentage wins a gift card.
The goal of the Free Throw-A-Thon is to create a fun, program-based event that fosters team bonding and skill development while raising funds for our program. It's sure to be a fun time made with lots of memories!!
So, what's in it for the players?
