Flapjack Fundraiser for Coginchaug Softball Team

On Sunday, March 6 members of the softball team will hold a Pancake Breakfast/FlapJack Fundraiser at Applebee's in Wallingford (1088 North Colony Road).

The players will be waiting tables as Applebee’s opens for a special fundraising breakfast just for the team and its supporters!  See any player or parent to purchase tickets, or email the committee chairs listed below.

The Coginchaug Regional High School Varsity Softball Team is seeking community and corporate support to participate in the ESPN Softball Spring Training in Orlando, Florida. This premier training opportunity is being sponsored by Champion® and the team will attend in April 2011 during the school’s Spring break.  The team is asking consideration for financial support from the Community through their fundraising efforts. The trip would consist of 5 days, 4 nights in which the team will have practices and 2 games a day, playing a total of 6 games. Some of the games played will count toward our season record. Twelve varsity players will be attending, and their coaches, Head coach Ann Moscovics and assistant coach Hank Hiller.

The team’s goal is to raise enough funds to defray the entire cost of all attending players and coaches. We are in the process of fundraising and are contacting local businesses to ask for support. Any help that the community, local businesses, and families can give us to take advantage of this great opportunity would be much appreciated.

The trip will be an experience of a lifetime for the team and will provide excellent life lessons, such as working hard to earn what you want. They are eager to work on our softball skills as a team while gaining experience playing against other quality teams at a premier facility.  Our softball team will compete against and meet players from all over the country.  They will have the opportunity to bond as a team, and it will surely enable them to grow and improve athletically, carrying this forward to have a very successful softball season.  The CRHS softball team will represent our school well and will do so with pride!

CRHS Softball has won the most championships of any Varsity sport in Coginchaug’s history.  The team’s goal for this year is to continue this tradition and come back from spring training in Orlando as a cohesive unit with the single purpose of mind to achieve their goal of both another Shoreline Conference and Class S championship!

The players, coaches, and parent group are deeply involved in several fundraising activities.

So be on the lookout for our players at various events around town, including candy sales and donation drives at locations around town.

Any companies, organizations, or families that wish to contribute or need information please contact any of the committee chairpersons via email:
