LET’S LIGHT NORTH!
The WWPHS Boosters are committed to having the lights installed in both high schools by next summer. They need to raise $100K by then. Between, the 3 fundraisers planned for this school year and the sales of the pole advertisements, it can be done.
We need to show the Booster Club that we want the lights at North. If you don’t have the time to volunteer, here is what you can do to show your support:
1. Become a member of the WWPHS Boosters. For as little as $25, it will go a long way to show your support: http://www.wwphsboosters.org/payment-center/d
2. Purchase a Light Pole plaque. So far 1 gold and 1 Bronze has been sold at North. There are still 26 left to sell: http://www.wwphsboosters.org/home/light-pole-plaque-fundraiser
3. Try to sell one Pole Banner advertisement:
