The GridIrondale Classic  

The GridIrondale Classic was an overwhelming success last year! We want to make this year even bigger and better, and  we invite YOU to get involved.
 
What is it?  The football teams from the Irondale Youth Football Association, Irondale Middle School, and Shades Valley High School scrimmage, and their cheerleaders perform between games.  There will be concessions, free games, prizes, and much more!  Our purpose is three-fold:  to bring the greater-Irondale community together, to provide a day of affordable family-fun for our neighbors, and to help multiple youth athletic groups raise funds.
 
When is it?  This year's Classic will take place on the Shades Valley football field Saturday, August 14, 2010, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.  You can read more about it on our blog beginning tomorrow, July 14.
 
What can you do?  Very simple:  (1) Just promote the event with your constituents in whatever means you communicate with them, and (2) attend the event yourself.  
 
Additionally, you are welcome to help sponsor the event for a donation of $500 (gold), $250 (silver), or $100 (bronze).  If you cannot or do not wish to do so, perhaps you could assist us with obtaining corporate sponsorships.  Or email me if you'd like to hear our many other ideas!
 
If you're interested in getting involved with this year's GridIrondale Classic in any way--even attending as a community leader--please contact Lynda Reynolds.  We'd love for you to join us!
