Hello Green Wave Parents & Supporters,

It’s hard to believe, but our 2026 Gallatin Green Wave Football Lift-A-Thon is officially underway, and we are excited to get started!

First and foremost, I want to thank each of you for the continued support you give our players and our program. The Lift-A-Thon is our primary fundraiser, and it plays a critical role in allowing us to provide a first-class experience for our young men.

Why This Matters

Funds raised through the Lift-A-Thon will directly support:

• Player equipment and safety gear
• Team travel expenses
• Player nutrition
• Facility improvements
• Freshman coaching stipends
• Overall program needs

It is important for our families and supporters to understand that we receive no school board funding for these essential areas. Everything we provide for our players beyond the basics is made possible through fundraising and the generosity of our community.

Online Donation Link

Our online donation platform is now live:

https://sumnerschools.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/4447/445/False/True

When donating, please make sure to enter the player’s name so they receive proper credit.

I will continue to send out weekly updates so families can track progress.

Incentives

We have updated our incentive packages this year and are excited about the new items available to our players. These incentives are designed to reward their hard work and effort in supporting the program.

Please remind your player to stay engaged, communicate with supporters, and take ownership of their fundraising.

Our Goal

Our goal is to continue building a championship-level program by providing our players with the resources they need to be successful both on and off the field.

This fundraiser is about more than money — it is about teaching our players responsibility, leadership, and how to represent something bigger than themselves.

Thank you again for your continued belief in Gallatin Football.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

GO GREEN WAVE!
