Blitz Night

Blitz Night is an annual fundraising activity in which the players themselves go door-to-door in the community to solicit contributions for the Mustang Football Program. It is one of only two fundraising events that the players are involved in and is usually our largest single fundraising event.

No. We are planning to approach them in the coming weeks. Any suggestions for new ones should be forwarded to the Booster Club President or Marketing Committee Chairman.

Yes. The Booster Club sells them at the Merchandise Booth at all home Varsity games.

Does the Board need parents to volunteer to help out with Blitz Night?
