Fundraisers
In the past GBPR has asked that every football player and cheerleader participate in the annual fundraiser by selling an item. Again this year, we have decided to offer players, parents & family members great opportunities to support & give back to Junior League Football. First, we will be selling JLF Merchandise which will consist of T-shirts & Hooded Sweatshirts with the JLF logo. Support your favorite player on and off the field by buying one! Also, we will be producing a JLF Program Booklet that will feature team photos, names and numbers of each player. In addition, you or your business can support the fundraiser by not only purchasing a program at the game, but also purchasing 1/4, 1/2 and Full Page "Blocks of Support" to promote your favorite football player or cheerleader. This keep sake program can be saved for seasons to come and will provide a fantastic memory whenever you look at it. Also, NEW GBPR JLF& JLC window decals will be available. Samples will be available.
