To the Players, Parents, Alumni and Supporters of the Holy Cross Knight Football:
The Holy Cross Knights are sponsoring the annual KNIGHT OF CHAMPIONS LIFT-A-THON on May 20, 2016 at Holy Cross.
Each player will get $.05 or $.10 per pound donations or flat donations (preferred). If the donation is by the pound it will be the result of the players combined bench, dead lift and clean. We are asking each player to get a minimum pledge of $250. The first $200 of their amount raised will go to the summer strength and conditioning and MVP performance camp. The next $50 will go to the purchase of an End Zone Camera and Tripod.
PROCEDURES: Each participant with the help of his parents/friends will seek sponsors to donate any amount towards the lift-a-thon. The athlete will acquire a pledge per pound or flat donation and record it neatly and accurately on the form given to them. Flat donations should be turned in the day of the lift-a-thon and any pledges per pound should be turned in no later than the 27th of May (7 days after the lift- a-thon). Please make check payable to Holy Cross of San Antonio.

SENIOR CLASS DONATES IN A BIG WAY
This senior class has distinguished itself by giving in a special way and in a big way. Almost 50% of this class has donated blood one or more times over the course of their high school years. That is an amazing number, when you consider only 5% of the general population who are eligible, actually donate! We hope you will continue this life saving service to others.
Today we present a special honor, “The Red Cord,” given in appreciation by the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center, to seniors have donated 6 or more units since they were eligible at age 16. An amazing 25 seniors, over 1/3 of the class, have achieved this honor.
Congratulations Class of 2016!
