REITZ FOOTBALL IS “FREZZIN’ FOR A REASON”

    

 

Twenty-Four Reitz football players will be braving the freezing temperatures to participate in the 2014 Polar Plunge at Scales Lake Beach in Boonville, In.   Coach Hape says, “R” players will be plunging @ 11:45 Saturday February 1st in honor of Zach Harris.  Special Olympics of Indiana is an organization that provides a great service for the state of Indiana and we are proud to be able to participate in this event.”

Special olympics are a not-for-profit organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in more than 20 Olympic sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, reaching more than 11,000 athletes across Indiana.  All proceeds from this event benefit Special Olympics athletes in our community, giving them the means to train locally and to compete at the state level in a number of Olympic-type sports.

Hacienda “Give-Back Fiesta” to Benefit Zach Harris

Community support is being sought for  Zach Harris, who was diagnosed recently with leukemia and has been undergoing intensive treatment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center at Nashville.

As a part of the support effort, friends of Harris, who served as manager of the Reitz Panthers football team and is an assistant coach of the semipro Evansville Enforcers, have organized a Hacienda Give-Back Fiesta for Thursday at the West Side Hacienda on Pearl Drive.  Hacienda will donate 20 percent of sales to Harris and his family.

Reitz football is proud to say that Zach is and always will be a member of “R” team and are asking to help support Zach and his family on his road to recovery.   We have attached the “Give Back Token” below for those that still need to pick one up.
