Varsity Pizza Fundraiser

Your SYHA Varsity team is conducting a fundraiser in an effort to offset a number of
team costs we have incurred throughout the year.  Some of these costs have
included team equipment (white board, additional water bottles for every player),
internet webcasts of various home games, Senior Night appreciation and gifts,
funding for league programs, and our year-end team gathering.  

Our fundraiser involves pre-selling pizzas that will then be assembled and delivered,
by Varsity team representatives, directly to your homes on February 6th.  Why
February 6th, you ask?  Because February 7th is Super Bowl Sunday, and what better
way to feed a hungry Super Bowl crowd than with a bunch of delicious pizzas!  Most
teams have typically ordered pizzas from somewhere to have team gatherings in the
past, why not plan ahead now and consider supporting this internal association
fundraiser and order your pizzas from the Varsity team?  These pizzas can be frozen
for use later so stock up!  We deliver them to your door, and all you have to do is pop
them in the oven and enjoy.  

All pizzas are 12" single topping (Pepperoni, Sausage, or Cheese) and sell for $6.00
each or order 3 or more pizzas for just $5.00 each.  

Click
HERE for the fundraiser flyer.  The first page gives the particulars of the
fundraiser and the second page in this file is the  actual order form that  can be filled
out to place your order.  The Varsity team will be manning a table at the rink prior to
practice each Monday and Thursday night from 6 to 7 pm beginning this Thursday
January 14th until  Thursday February 4th to allow you to place your orders while at
the rink.  

We have challenged each of our Varsity players to sell 7 pizzas each, so don't be
surprised if one of them asks you about purchasing pizzas as you enter the rink!

We are also selling these pizzas to friends, family, neighbors, or whomever wants to
enjoy a delicious pizza with all proceeds offsetting the activities and expenses of the
Varsity team.  So if you know anyone outside the association who desires to
purchase a pizza for their Super Bowl party or for any time just provide them the
attached flier and they can fill it out and e mail it to
jwherley@varsitycontractors.com
to place their order.  (However,  keep in mind we need to be able to deliver these in a
reasonable distance from players homes as it is not economical for us to deliver an
extended distance.   However, the Varsity team has representatives from 10 area
high schools so we are well dispersed throughout the Springfield and surrounding
area for delivery purposes.)

SYHA Night at the MSU Game
February 12, 7:00 pm

Mark your calendars for SYHA night at MSU. The MSU Bears take on the
Texas Longhorns for the first time on home ice.  This is anticipated to be
THE game of the season, so please be aware that MSU is expecting a
complete sellout crowd.  That said, SYHA has reserved 100 seats on
hold for our parents to buy at a discounted rate of $6, and all SYHA
players wearing their game jersey will be given a free general admission
ticket.  Please see your coaches/Team Managers for tickets.  All
payments and unused tickets must be submitted to SYHA before 2/8.
