YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

This year we have $110,000 in scholarships/financial aid for families who need help.

Teams will come together for just one hour to work to raise money. The proceeds from the event breaks down the below percentages:

Example of Donation Breakdown:

• You raise $300 in Donations
• 10% =  $30 = Vendor Fee to Hour-A-Thon
• After the vendor fee is paid, $270 is what is paid to the club and that is where the below percentages are divided up.
• 40% = $108 = Goes into YOUR Team Account
• 60% = $162 = Goes into the FKK Scholarship Fund

This is an exciting set up for the teams! The CEO of Hour-A-Thon will be in person, running each session! Lots of goodies, gift cards, and spiritwear to be given away - show up and support!

All training and SSP sessions are canceled. Your PlayMetrics schedule will have this event in place of training.

There will be prizes for the top three teams and the top three individual players. Each player has a goal of raising at least $200-300.

What do you need to do?

There is a new process and app this year!  Hour-A-Thon has made it even easier to get donations from your friends and families:

1. A sheet with a QR code will be emailed and also distributed at training sessions the week before the event
2. There will be simple instructions on downloading the app and adding your Contacts that  you already have setup in your phone
3. You will then be grouped with your team and have access to your numbers at any point
4. The night of the event, you will be provided instructions on when to send your texts out that are followed up by a quick phone call

“Over the past three years, this event has been a huge success —thanks to our FKK families who helped us exceed every goal!
Not only has it helped reduce individual player costs, but it’s also brought our community closer together — while providing the financial assistance many of our families need to play the game we all love.

Let’s make it happen again this year — and aim even higher than last time!”

Executive Director
