Individual Participation:

About Hoop-A-Thon Our Hoop-A-Thon is a fun, one-day, school-wide fundraising event that benefits Trinity Christian School’s general fund. Secondary students gather one-time donations to participate in Hoop-A-Thon. On the day of the event, students shoot as many basketball hoops or hula-hoop as many times as they can during a 5-minute period. Students are encouraged to follow up with their sponsors to collect their Hoop-A-Thon funds. Throughout the event, students are encouraged to do their best and have fun!

Sponsorship Our goal as a school is for each student to gather a minimum of 5 sponsors at $10 each, or $50 total in sponsorships. If all our students and families work together in gathering sponsors, we can reach our goal of $15,000 to benefit Trinity’s mission and student programs!

All donations from student Hoop-A-Thon sponsors may be collected prior to the event and returned with the sponsor form. Students may also choose to follow up with sponsors after the Hoop-A-Thon event if sponsors choose to donate after the event.

NEW! As an additional way to help gather sponsors this year, we are offering you a chance to set up a Facebook donation page! This is a perfect solution if you want to help the school but have family and friends who live out of town or your child doesn't have spare time to find sponsors. Simply follow the step-by-step directions on the attached "Hoop-A-Thon Facebook Donation Page." For further information on the event rules, equipment specifications, and tips for fundraising, please go to TCSWV.org/HoopAThon2019 or see Resource Documents in ParentsWeb.

their best during their time at the hoop!● Cheer Them On! : Join us in the gymnasium to cheer on our students to success! No
