Sharpstown food drive wrap-up

Sharpstown High School food drive
From Bert Bilton…
Good morning, Sonics family! Coach Goldy saw this promotion and thought it would be a great idea for the Sonics to get involved. As you know, Sharpstown High School has allowed us to practice on its track the past couple of years with little or no charge. We are not sure what will occur this coming school year, but we would like to show them our gratitude. Many students at Sharpstown, and within the Sharpstown community, struggle daily to provide food for their families. 97.9 The Box and IJustGotHit.com are joining forces to supply the food pantry with more goods. Let’s show our appreciation and suppor by showing up in full force with our Sonics shirts on and donate to the food pantry.
The event begins this Saturday, September 6 at 10:00 AM. If we can get as many people as possible to meet up at 10 AM, make a donation and be on our merry way! Coach Goldy will gather everyone in the parking lot and we will then make a group donation. The Sonics organization will donate the first $100 worth of canned goods. If you can bring along some additional canned goods, it will all go towards a worthy cause. Below is a list of preferred food donations and the attachment provides additional information about the event. Please email me, Bertran.Bilton@aliefisd.net, if you are able to participate. Thanks in advance for your support!
