Loudon Quarterback Club Policies

Fund-Raising

• Parents, players, and cheerleaders will be asked once a year to participate in a fund-raising program to support the club. As this organization is non-profit and receives no federal, state, or local grants of any kind, the annual fund-raiser is a must. It is hoped that all will participate.
• The program should not be mistaken for a child-against-child or a family-against-family competition. The annual fund-raiser is not a competition; it is a way to keep the club in business.
• There is no maximum limit of children who may qualify for the "top prize." If the top prize for selling X amount of whatever's being sold is, let's say, a Loudon Quarterback Club school backpack, and fifty children sell X amount; then all fifty children will win the backpack. The prize is not limited in quantity nor simply to the child who sells X amount and gets his or her money turned in first. Getting funds turned in first is of no advantage to any child.
• Deadline. There is a deadline by which families must have funds turned in in order to qualify for certain prizes. Depending upon weather or other circumstances, the deadline may be postponed. If so, this will be communicated to parents via this website or some other means.
