As we gear up for another exciting basketball season at Lake Placid Middle School, we are reaching out to share an opportunity for you to support our boys and girls basketball programs. Our teams are committed to fostering not only athletic skills but also teamwork, sportsmanship, and a sense of community among our student-athletes. To enhance our program, we have recently acquired a new digital scoring table, which will greatly improve the game-day experience for our players, coaches, and fans. We are offering local businesses and community members the chance to sponsor a digital ad that will run throughout the entire season on this new scoring table for just $50.00. Your sponsorship will not only promote your business but will also help us cover essential expenses, such as officials’ fees and transportation costs for both our girls' and boys' teams. Here’s how you can help: 1. Sponsor a Digital Ad: For a donation of $50, your business name or logo will be prominently displayed on the scoring table during all home games. 2. Show Your Support: Your contribution will directly benefit our student-athletes, helping to create a positive and enriching basketball experience for them. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our student-athletes. If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to reach out to the school at 863-699-5030 or millionj@highlands.k12.fl.us. Together, we can ensure a successful season for our young athletes!
