We are excited to hold our annual Saderfest Athletics Fundraiser on Friday, September 27!

We believe in the positive impact a coach can have on athletes.  In addition to teaching the x’s and o’s of the game, coaches provide consistency, mentoring, discipline, and faith development.  We have seen how important this mentoring can be for students and how impactful being part of a team can be.  We have an excellent group of coaches who are committed to providing opportunities in athletics for our students!

Many schools charge fees to participate in athletics.  We are committed to not charging extra to be part of a team.  However, each year we run an annual ‘Saderfest fundraiser in place of charging a specific fee to families.  The money raised during this fundraiser goes to offset the expenses it takes to run an athletic program.  These expenses include upkeep of athletic facilities, transportation, officials’ fees, purchasing equipment and uniforms, coach stipends, technology, rental costs, and much more.

Although not mandatory, we are asking all our athletes from fall, winter, and spring sports to raise $200 for our annual ‘Saderfest fundraiser.  Details regarding the fundraiser are below. 

1. Ask parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, friends if they would like to donate.  The athletic office will do all the billing of donors. 
2. It is important that athletes enter each sponsor/pledge into the online Saderfest form at the link below so we know which athlete should receive credit when pledge checks are received.  Please complete this online form for each sponsor/pledge:  https://www.cognitoforms.com/UnityChristianHighSchool/_2024SaderfestSportsCelebration
