Player's Corner

As we extend a warm welcome to the junior high school parents and players, we strive to find ways to create stability for the future. As responsible parents, it is our goal to leave the club in better shape than we received it. If each generation adopted this motto, than the club will stand on it’s own and have many growth opportunities for generations to come. The current players among the junior high school teams will have the opportunity to play for the club for another 4-8 years. The future of the club will be managed by generations that are not even in place at the time these various programs are being implemented.

It is the goal of the management team to establish an endowment program for the future benefits of the club. When people hear the words "Fund Raising" many people, including myself, cringe at the thought of having to sell something that is overpriced or unnecessary to someone that has a hard time telling us no. The problem with most fund raising programs is that they are short lived and require annual initiation and participation. Although it is sometimes necessary to initiate traditional fund raising opportunites, it is not a desired part of most within the organizations of youth sports.

The management team has implemented a new and innovative program with many affiliated companies in our very own shopping mall. We have aligned with over 1,000 stores that are willing to contribute to the club's fund raising program each and every year. Each and every time a consumer makes a purchase through our web site, with one of our affiliated stores, that store will make a contribution to our club. For example: Target will pay the club 2 - 7% of their purchase amount for every purchase made within the club’s shopping mall. There are so many well known stores, like Sears, K-Mart, Bass Pro Shops, Circuit City, Best Buy, Wal-Mart and so many more. We are confident that you can purchase just about anything within our mall. Regardless of the purchase amount or of it’s type of items, each purchase will contribute to the club's general fund raising program. It can be composed of your weekly household supplies, personal apparel, gift purchase or holiday shopping. It can be of your travel arrangements, insurance needs, food purchases, personal loans, automobile loans or even house loans.

Consumers can find sports tickets, entertainment tickets, cellular phones, credit card applications, home loans, automobile loans, travel packages, airline tickets, cruise tickets, hotel tickets, Six Flags tickets, local sports tickets like the Cardinals, Blues, Bilikens, Rams, concerts, restaurants, clothing, electronics, insurance and just about any product line can be found within our mall.

As club members utilize this program and patronize these stores, they will find special online offers, exclusive to the internet stores. Prior to entering each store, it will typically state how much that store is willing to contribute to the club's fund raising program. It is the goal of the club get as many as possible utilizing this innovated way of generating revenue for the club's "Fund Raising" efforts. Each purchase MUST be made through the club's internet connections. Any purchases made outside of the club's internet site with any of our affiliates will not generate a donation from the store. So, please be cautious of how you connect to each store prior to making a purchase.

Just imagine if each member of the club shares this opportunity with their friends and family. This would allow for a significant endowment program for years to come. This would be accomplished by simply changing habits and shopping online versus shopping each store by personal visits. With the holidays approaching, this could be a great time to ask your friends and family to consider shopping through our club's malls.

A person can visit a massive number of stores in the matter of hours, view their inventory and availability, check out without ANY lines and never have to get out of their pajamas. So with the holidays near, consider how easy this would be to implement this fund raising program with your personal family, friends, co-workers, relatives and neighbors. There are no surcharge in pricing and it is promoting a massive number of well known retail chains. How much easier can fund raising become?

Better yet, if any member has another organization that would like to implement a similar program for another non profit organization, than they can arrange to have such a program through our nomination (connection on our Power Mall page). The non profit organization can have their program implemented within a half of an hour. Our club will receive a small donation for assisting another organization in establishing a mall of their own.

So, members please spread the word, send them a connection link to our site and begin to use the program yourself. We hold a lot of optimism with the possible endowments that can be derived from families choosing to make their shopping purchases on line versus in person.
