Are your student-athletes up for a challenge this summer? Would they like to raise money for their team, as well? This year, we are introducing Scholastic Steam into the Steamboat Classic 4 Mile Run/Walk. This is a great opportunity for your student-athletes to get involved in one of the Peoria-area’s premier community/sports events, to raise funds for their athletic program, and to compete against other student-athletes from around the area. This year’s Steamboat Classic will be run on Saturday, June 19.
Each year, the Steamboat Classic draws elite athletes from around the world – and this year will be no different. The 2010 race will feature many top runners from around the world!
There are two independent components to Scholastic Steam:
Participation – we hope you’ll encourage your student-athletes to participate in the Steamboat Classic. We’re adding categories for scholastic teams - 4 person teams (4 Females, 4 Males and Co-ed with 2 Females and 2 Males). Whether these student-athletes are experienced runners or participate in other sports, we welcome them to join us for friendly competition and demonstrate school spirit. All your student-athlete needs to do is to complete the special Scholastic Steam Application enclosed with this email and submit with her/his entry fee.
Fundraising – we understand the struggle scholastic sports teams face in fundraising to enhance their programs; and that’s why we’ve created a simple fundraising component. For each entry that each student-athlete registers and/or “sells” to a family member, friend or classmate, the Steamboat Classic will donate $5.00 back to the respective school/team in the student-athlete’s name. All your student-athlete needs to do is have each of her/his boosters complete the special Scholastic Steam Application enclosed with this email and submit with her/his entry fee.
We hope you’ll encourage ALL of your student-athletes to get involved with Scholastic Steam. For questions, please contact Philip Lockwood at 309-672-6442, ext. 301.
This year’s theme is “I Do Steamboat, We Do Steamboat.” When your student-athletes participate in the
Steamboat Classic and Scholastic Steam, your school’s athletic program will come back as winners!
