Well, if you missed the

Lions Legacy Foundation

fundraiser at Top Golf,

you really missed a fantas-

tic event. The weather was

perfect, the family and

friends environment was

exciting, and the overall

feedback from the event

was—Exceptional!

The event was held at the

Top Golf outdoor facility

off I-10. Over 140 friend

and family members at-

tended the event including

students, moms, dads,

grandparents, business

owners, corporate spon-

sors, teachers, and alum-

ni. For three hours, play-

ers enjoyed swinging clubs

off the third floor with the

high hopes of hitting huge

targets below. Many play-

ers found themselves

laughing as much as they

were swinging. It was

largely a social event as

much as it was golf com-

petition, for some golfers

anyway. Those attending

were treated to a large

buffet of various entrees,

snacks, desserts, and soft

FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR ACH FOOTBALL

In a matter of just a cou-

ple weeks the ACH foot-

ball team, along with their

family and friends raised

over $3300 with the click

of a button. Coach Josh

Puryear organized an

email campaign that

stirred the players to con-

tact their family members

to help support the grow-

ing needs of the players.

Loaded with an email and

a list of potential support-

ers the players and their

families got to work on

raising money. Collective-

ly they set their goal and

actually raised money to

help the team get helmets,

and needed equipment for

the season. Thanks to all

the donors for the cam-

paign.

Earlier in the summer,


Board member Dan

Calongne organized the

effort to take down the

old lights on the high

school football field and

set up new state-of-art

LED lights. The new

lighting system replaced

the nearly 40 year-old

creosote poles that were

just worn down to noth-

osity of several compa-

football and soccer can

enjoy the Friday night

lights in a new way. Visi-

the well-lit field, side-

Football Team Purchased New Helmets with his team to generate

needed funds to purchase

equipment and supplies

for the football team in

early August. Coach

Puryear and his team

sent emails to family and

friends who responded

with over $3300 in dona-

tions. The funds helped to

offset the purchasing of

the new Riddell Speed

Flex helmets. As well, the

team purchased new

shoulder, wrist, and ankle

braces from Alert Ser-

vices Sports Medicine.

Thank you to everyone

who supported the team

via the email campaign.

Coach Puryear said, “The

best thing about the email

campaign was that we got

to keep 100% of the mon-

ey. That’s the best kind of

fundraiser!”

Suite was a cool respite

including those who just

came by to watch their

family members play.

Many players enjoyed

taking a break and relax-

ball games. After the

games were finished the

winning team was award-

The event was not only a great

family fun day, but it also

raised over $15,000. The funds

will be used to support the

growing needs of Ascension

Christian Schools. Thanks,

again, to everyone who partici-
