Can you Help Us?
We are really struggling to get sponsors for this season, since we will have 2 seasons in one year. Sponsorship is how we earn more than HALF of our operating budget for the football team.
How you can help!
Send us names and contact info of some solid business contacts. Either ones you know personally or places your family frequents in our community.
Email admin@friendsofgrantfootball.com and we will contact them.
Thanks so much and let’s go Generals!!

Season parent help
During the season we will need each players family to volunteer to help with various jobs and donations of food. Varsity Families are not asked to work during Varsity games unless working on the field with chain crew and is something they want to do. But there are lots of other ways Varsity parents are expected to help.
JV does help run the Varsity games.
We will be sending out a volunteer link before the first game. You can sign up then, but just wanted to put the expectation out there that more help is needed. We don’t want to burn out the ones that already help a lot.
Many hand make light work
Jobs include working the:
1. Snack Shack- JV families will be needed to man the snack shack during the Friday night Varsity games. 3-4 parents per game
2.Chain Crew- 4 dads or players to do the Chains and down markers for home Thursday JV Games and another crew for home Friday night Varsity games
3. Live stream crew- need help from anyone comfortable working a camera and equipment. We can train you and the crew is lots of fun.
Also anyone with computer and graphics help is really needed. Contact Karmen at karmenconarx@icloud.com
4. Scoreboard Operator and Announcer for Varsity Games. Fun and exciting and training available.
5. Help feeding the team- Varsity parents 3 needed for each game.
6.Providing Snacks for the team for the bus rides
7. Help with the Team Awards Night at the end of the season.
Thank you,
