Lacrosse Club needs support |

In 2006, the Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club played
in it first season. It was a season filled with
promise and most of that was fulfilled. John
Nierowski and I had an opportunity to mold the
young men from that team based on the promise of
financial support for the season's team.
John funded the team through his personal credit
and away we went.
Well, as often happens some things didn't turn
out as planned and the donors never gave the
monies to John.
Since that time, he has continued to help keep
the sport and its opportunities alive for
Boundary County. John has tried to fundraise to
help recover some of the more than $10,000 that
has been spend to have the sport here, but it
has been tough for him to find funding.
Though I have not been involved with the team
since the 2007 season, I have seen the
dedication these athletes have in learning the
sport, the sportsmanship and the life lessons
that go with it.
Iam writing today to ask you to help support
Bonners Ferry lacrosse. I fear a day when the
burden overtakes Coach Nierowski and we lose
this opportunity in our community.
How can you help? Well, funds are obviously the
easy answer. Your donation of 5, 10, 20, 100
dollars or more can go a long way towards
helping offset this debt that has allowed
students to play.
You could also purchase Bonners Ferry Lacrosse
merchandise from the team. You may want to help
provide a job opportunity to raise funds like
the folks at Les Schwab time have done each
year.
These are just a few ideas.
Coach Nierowski could use your help. If you have
ideas on how to help, want to donate funds or
ask more about Bonners Ferry Lacrosse please
contact John at (
208) 267-2778 or his cell at (208) 610-0605
Thank you for supporting this opportunity for
kids in Boundary County. |
