The Middle School FBLA and the High School FBLA chapters will be hosting Pink Night on Thursday, October 22 for Volleyball and Friday, October 23 for Football. They will be selling cookies, playing games for prizes, and taking orders for T-shirts. All proceeds will be donated to the fight for cancer in our community. If your business wishes to be a sponsor for their fight against cancer, the cost is $50.00. Your business will be listed on the back of the T-shirt and you will receive a free T-shirt. Sponsors will also be announced at all pink night games including the basketball Pink Night. Forms will be available at these games or you may contact Trisha Freemyer, FBLA sponsor, at the school. This is a little different than they have done in the past, but after consideration of the safety of the students and the community due to Covid-19 concerns, they felt this was the best way to give sponsors the opportunity to assist them in the fight against cancer. Both the Middle School and the High School chapters will be using these Pink Nights as their community service project this year and taking it to state contest in the spring. They thank you in advance for your support in the fight against this disease which has affected so many in our community. The theme this year is: "PAWS FOR A CAUSE". They hope to see you there. Questions may be directed to Trisha Freemyer at (660) 476-2118 or pfreemyer@appletoncity.k12.mo.us.
