Go Red--“Saving a Life is a Real Sport” in the Hortonville School District

The Hortonville Area School District schools are currently selling Red Out t-shirts in an effort to raise money and awareness for the American Heart Association.

The Red Out event will officially take place on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at the Hortonville High School gym during the Hortonville vs. New London boys basketball game. Hortonville has challenged New London to see who can sell the most Red Out t-shirts by game time, trying to “red out” the gym with the hope of everyone wearing the t-shirt.

To give students an even bigger reason to buy a Red Out shirt, each school in the HASD has its own incentive. At HMS, Mr. Bryan Fletcher will wear a red dress all day on January 26th if HASD reaches its sales goal of 300 shirts, and Ms. Paula Jensen will wear a Vikings jersey. At HHS, if over 500 t-shirts are sold, Mr. Kolosso will “take a cream pie to the face”, Coach Moen will have his chest waxed with an “H” and Mrs. Schmidt will have her hair shaved. 

T-shirts are being sold for $10, and all proceeds will go to the American Heart Association, helping create more research and life saving opportunities. When you purchase a t-shirt, you will receive a ticket for a chance to win two Packers tickets for one 2012 regular season game, which have been donated by Mrs. Gorwitz, HMS Physical Education teacher.

Shirts will be sold at HES, HMS, GMS, and HHS; at games prior to the event in January; and at the PAWS volleyball tournament the week before the event.

Help support this activity by wearing your Red Out t-shirt to the game on January 26th!
