Purpose: The Lift-a-thon is a major fundraiser for the football program.

The money raised will be used in the following ways:

1.  Continuing upgrades and maintenance of the weight room for off-season workout programs

Donations: Participants are encouraged to find a minimum of 4 sponsors for the lift-a-thon. Flat Donations can be made in any dollar amount. Donations can also be made in form of pledges per pound. For example if a participant lifts a total of 750 lbs. in the four lifts, someone who donates a nickel a lb. would be donating $37.50, someone who donates a dime would be donating $75.00, etc.

Goals: 1. Each participant sets a personal goal for each lift

Dear SVHS Football Supporters,

As our Off-Season Workouts start up, it is once again to be thinking about next football season. When we talk about being successful on and off the field here, we talk specifically about dedication, sacrifices, team work, being a role model and working hard towards your goals. We view playing football as a great chance to compete and improve ourselves in these areas every day. As we continue our work towards the 2015 season, our kids are hungry to take the next step as a football program. We know we accomplished a lot over the past several seasons but now we must work relentlessly to compete for a state championship. Our saying this year is “ALL IN!” In saying that, our student-athletes have made a commitment and pledged to each other to fully develop themselves in all areas, making them better students, better football players, and better young men in our society.

On the week of January 26th 2015, our football program will be taking part in the 8th annual Lift-a-thon, in the SVHS FOOTBALL Weight Room. We are striving to make sure our program becomes a standard of excellence not only in the tri-state area but the state of West Virginia. We are asking for your help in donating money to our football program. On January 26th we will be maxing out on Bench Press and Squats and on the 27th we will max on Power Clean and Push Press. All money raised will directly benefit our student-athletes and the SVHS Football Program.

We are asking that you pledge a monetary amount per pound that your football player totals in the four lifts. Usually people pledge such amounts as a penny, nickel, dime, quarter or dollar a pound lifted by the player.

For example if one player lifts a total:

Bench Press 200lbs

Squat 300lbs

Power Clean 200lbs

Push Press 300lbs

Total LBS 900lbs

If you pledged a nickel per pound you would give that player $45.00

If you feel more comfortable giving a flat donation, that is perfectly acceptable as well.

All, parents, siblings, family member, friends, alumni and sponsors are invited to attend the event on Thursday the 29th and cheer on our program and and players as we compete against ourselves in the weight room.

Thank you for your interest and support of our program. As coaches and players, we have dedicated our entire off-season to making sure the SVHS football program continues to make strides toward an WV State Championship!

Go Wolves!

Coach Brad Dingess

Head Football Coach
