Binks Scoreboard Fundraiser
We are excited to officially kick off our fundraising efforts to upgrade the Binks Gymnasium Scoreboards. As we look to elevate the athletic experience for our students, families, and broader community by installing state-of-the-art digital scoreboards in Binks Gymnasium. These scoreboards will not only modernize our facility but also allow for enhanced visibility, sponsor promotion, and a more engaging environment for athletes and spectators alike.
To fund this upgrade, we are offering exclusive naming rights and high-visibility sponsorship opportunities to one or more private donors. This is a unique opportunity to support youth athletics while gaining long-term exposure and association with our thriving school community.
