Food Pantry & Backpack Program Ragball Tournament
Join us for an exciting day of ragball and community support! Here’s what you need to know:
-The Backpack Program provides nutritious, easy-to-prepare meals and snacks to children in need, typically sent home in backpacks at the end of the school week. This ensures that children have sufficient food over the weekend when they might not have access to school meals.
-We will be accepting any and all donations before or during the event.
-Anyone or any business interested in donating will be greatly appreciated and will make a significant impact on our students.
-If your business donation is $100.00 or more, your business logo will be printed on the back of the Championship shirt.
-Additionally, every non-perishable item brought on the day of the tournament will be used in the pantry, and you'll be entered into a drawing for a T-shirt!
To sign your team up contact Frank Vacante (979)-422-3187 or email him directly at frank.vacante@violalonghorns.org
