Amherst Hurricane Throwers

Hurricanes Friends and Family,

I am lucky enough to be the coach of these amazing scholar-athletes, who have so much compassion and empathy for one another. Their work ethic is second to none and they deserve the best. Spring Tack is rather chilly here in New England and while other schools have cohesive warm-up sets, we do our best to piecemeal school colors together. We also have a core of seniors who we would like to send off proudly with team apparel as they move on to their next chapters. This group has vast socioeconomic statuses and in an effort to continue to make this an inclusive environment, we are asking for your support.

This link is being shared by all of the families of our throwing community, and we encourage you to share it with other friends and family members who may be interested in donating to our cause. We thank you in advance for not just supporting your own student/athlete, but our throwing community in its entirety.

The team has come up with a three-tiered ‘wish list’ for team apparel (depending on how much funding we are able to raise). We have 15 athletes we are looking to cover. The list of their desired items is as follows:

Tier I - $195: Includes sweatsuit, long-sleeve tee, t-shirt, shorts, tank top, socks, & gym bag.

Tier II - $127: Includes sweatsuit, long-sleeve tee, t-shirt, & shorts.

Tier III - $112: Includes sweatsuit, long sleeve tee, & t-shirt.

These costs do not include tax or shipping and handling. In the event there are remaining funds, the money will go towards snacks for our upcoming meets, our team bonding BBQs at some of the all day invitationals, and/or new throwing implements.

Our season is off to a very strong start and we welcome you to follow our journey on the social media page canes.throws on Instagram. I’d also like to say a special thank you to my friend Allie DeMartino, for collaborating with the team to create a personalized throwers logo.
