FT Challenge: A fun day

Nice work by everybody today: Thunder shooters, parents and supporters.

We had 11 shooters today who attracted a total of 49 sponsors. Many of our kids had donors who simply contributed a lump sum, while the rest of our contributors went by the $1 per FT standard. Thank you, everybody, for making this a success!

Here is the amount pledged per shooter, along with their FT totals.

name FT/FTA sponsors $ to collect

Keanu Pratt 15/20 2 $30

Kyle Moraga 15/20 0 $0

Hsien Pascua 14/20 2 $28

Kali‘a Mielke 13/20 3 $86

Walter Berthold 13/20 9 $117

Kenehe Nishimura 12/20 4 $86

Javan Montiho 12/20 10 $120

Gabriel Porras 12/20 3 $65

Coach Paul 11/20 5 $77

Kapaa Nishimura 8/20 (ankle) 4 $64

Josh Roberts 8/20 5 $40

Then we have special donors, Shawn Toyozaki and Mrs. Patti Chang and Sanford Chang (son).
Shawn had a very interesting format for his sponsorship: The best 5 shooters would get $2 per shot made, but also run 2 laps per miss. He offered to do $1, but of course, $2 is the better deal for our shooters.

So, the 5 best shooters today were (Shawn's contribution plus laps total)

Keanu Pratt $30 (10 laps)

Kyle Moraga $30 (10 laps)

Hsien Pascua $28 (12 laps)

Kali‘a Mielke $26 (14 laps)

Walter Berthold $26 (14 laps)

Mrs. Chang and Sanford donated a lot and asked that it be spread among our Thunder who have a one-parent family. So this adds to the total for these guys:

Keanu Pratt $50

Kenehe Nishimura $50

Kapaa Nishimura $50

Our grand total for today: $1,003.
That's an awesome number, much greater than I anticipated. We had some missing shooters today, and they'll take their free throws at practice. So the grand total will increase.

PARENTS, please help out with the collection of the funds. It's important for our players to be involved, but there may be situations when they need your help. Please collect this week and bring the funds by next Sunday.

Again, MAHALO to our parents, shooters and supporters. We raised a healthy amount of funds — it would've taken us two car washes to amass this amount. Stay tuned for the next fundraiser. We're chipping away at our costs bit by bit. God continues to bless us with opportunities and fun :)

Coach Roy, thank you for bringing Kyle and Hsien. Mark, thanks for the OJ.

WE LUB THIS GAME!
