2015-2016 Ankeny Hawk Football
“This Time It’s Personal”
July 3, 2015
To the Parents/Guardians of an Ankeny Hawk Football Players, Cheerleaders and Coaches,
Greetings to you all! Welcome to another great year of Hawk Football. We are very
excited to share lots of information with you. This letter comes to you from the Ankeny
Hawk Football Parent Committee. We are a non-profit committee of parents who support
the varsity football players, coaches, managers, ball boys, and cheerleaders. That is a
group of approximately 120 people. Our committee of parents is separate from the school
and activities office when it comes to fundraising for the team.
This letter is to provide you with important information that will help you understand what
we do throughout the year for all the players, coaches, managers, ball boys and
cheerleaders. In addition to a few mailings, we will share information with you online
through:
 Our football committee page, www.ankenyhawkfootball.com
 Our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/AnkenyHawksFootballParentCommittee
 Twitter, AnkenyHawksFBParents, @ahsfbpc
The following is what our committee has been organizing and fundraising for:

As you can see, it takes a lot of fundraising from the support of our local businesses. Each
business that is on our senior poster donated $250.00 in cash or food. We appreciate all
the generosity from these local businesses, and could not do this if it was not for them.
We also will fundraise by selling t-shirts.
Hog Roast
This year our hog roast will be held at Ankeny Hope Church located at 520 NW 36th St.,
Ankeny, IA on Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 4:00pm. The hog roast offers the coaches,
varsity players, managers, varsity cheerleaders and all their parents an opportunity to
meet one another in a casual setting and provides information for the upcoming year.
Please make every effort to have your varsity player or cheerleader attend with
parents only.

***All players, managers & cheerleaders – please bring either a case of water and an 8

much for your generosity.
Player/Cheerleader Fees
The committee is in need of your help supporting our players and cheerleaders. We are
asking for a $50.00 donation from each player and a $25.00 donation from each
cheerleader. This will assist in covering a portion of our costs. Please have your donation
returned by August 3, 2015 (or you may bring it to the Hog Roast). If you require
financial assistance please don’t hesitate to let one of the committee members know.

On behalf of all the committee members, we want to thank you ahead of time for all the
support and cheering you will do for all of the boys. We could not do this without your
support, and we appreciate your generosity and willingness to help out. If you ever have
any questions or need some clarification, please don’t hesitate to email or call one of us.
