Senior Parents

Senior parents please arrive by 6:15-6:30 at the game and make sure to turn in your Seniors Letter to be read while honoring them on the field before the game. Families will walk the field with their seniors at 6:40.

Please try to get there early. We won’t be able to wait. Feel free to bring banners or balloons for your playe. When seniors are announced we will have a photographer there that will take photos of your family with your player.

We would like Parents or Guardians to send us a letter that can be read by the announcer (live stream and game) when your player is on the field. This is needed ASAP.

Enter to win Hotel Moxy Raffle!!
Cost?? Sponsorship contacts!

With a pandemic, Portland Public schools made great strides to make sure our players were able to play last season.  Having two seasons in one year made it difficult to find the complete support that we needed without hitting our families too hard for donations. We were generously given gift certificates to raffle off by the Moxie Hotel downtown. Instead of doing a raffle for money we’re going to offer up a fun weekend experience for 2,  for two nights, with a bottle of wine and $25 towards food and beverage and a complementary cocktail at check-in. This is for anyone to win that gives us a great contact to become a potential sponsor. All you have to do is email us with a business in our Grant Community with a name and number, along your name and number and we will do the rest! 

Email us at admin@friendsgrantfootballboard.com

Contact info for businesses that you think would be a good sponsor with their 

  1. contact name and number 

  2. your name in the number. 

For every contact name given you will be entered to win!

Thanks again. Go General’s!!
