Join the Winning

Nease Boys Lacrosse Team

Last season our team made it to the state semi-finals in the FHSAA state playoffs (see story below). We were one of the 4 best lacrosse teams in the state! This year our goal is to go all the way. Join our team and help us get back to the state playoffs!

We have eight regular season games in our stadium this season where we typically have hundreds of people attending. This is a great advertising opportunity via banners, PA anoucements and program ads. There is also advertising available on our website and in the newsletter. You can also be a sponsor of our 5K Face-off Fun-d run (see above) and have your company's logo on the race t-shirt. For details please download the sponsorship brochure. To signup and be part of our team please download the sponsorship order form.

Your sponsorship is tax deductable so be sure to get your receipt! Thanks from the boys!

 Join the Golden Panther Booster Club

As you know we get $0 from the county to support Nease Lacrosse. When a stadium speaker goes out (and one did) we pay for it, when the fields need repaired, we pay for it. We pay for uniforms, balls, - everything. Our Nease parents, however, recognize the importance of H.S. athletics since every year we come close to 100% booster club participation. We need 100% participation this year as well. Please join the GPBC - here is the form (Page 1 and Page 2). Be sure to designate "boys lacrosse".

Here's another reason to join the GPBC. This year the Athletic Department will charge each sport participant an athletic use fee. It will be $50 for the first participant in the first sport and then less thereafter for each participant and/or sport. A family having 2 children each participating in 2 sports will be subject to 4 athletic use fees with the fees on a graduated scale. If you join the GPBC, the booster club WILL PAY ALL ATHLETIC USE FEES.

Boys Lacrosse supporters can also donate directly to Boys Lacrosse by contacting the booster liaison.
