The Warren County High School Football team’s booster club, coaches and players are embarking on a journey to re-establish a winning tradition — and they are in need of your support.

The booster club has made efforts to change its methods of fundraising this year with more focus on getting the entire community behind its efforts.

“We will not be doing some of the traditional approaches, such as selling posters, as we have in the past,” said vice president of the booster club, David Britton. “For example, we are starting an annual golf tournament which will be our main focus for fundraising.”

The inaugural tournament is set for Monday, July 22, at the McMinnville Country Club. But whether you play golf or just want to support the football program, the team invites your participation as a sponsor.

Sponsors will be recognized at Nunley Stadium during home games. Sponsorships will be available on three different levels.

Platinum Level will be $1,000, which gives you a four person team in the golf tournament.

Gold is $500, with two players entered in the tournament, and a Silver ($250) sponsorship will give you one player entered in the tournament.

Sponsors are invited to join the booster club and coaches for a cookout and awards ceremony at approximately 5:30 p.m., even if they do not play in the tournament.

“We are working on other levels of sponsorships for people who do not wish to participate in the golf tournament but would like to support the football program,” Britton said.

“Anyone wishing to become a sponsor with out being in the tournament can contact myself or Danny Langford.”

The golf tournament will be a four-person scramble with a shotgun start at 1 p.m.

Prizes will be awarded in three flights, as well as for closest to the hole and longest drive.

All proceeds will go toward practice uniforms, sideline headsets, meals for away games and a year-end banquet.

The booster club, coach Tidwell and his staff wished to thank everyone in advance for their support of the Warren County High School football team.
