Your Foundation Supports Southwest Athletics!

Your support helps Southwest students learn      Southwest High School athletes shine as they compete--both on and off the court, field, snow, gym, ice, mat, lake, track, links, or in the pool. Southwest's Varsity girls basketball team is currently 2nd in the Minneapolis City Conference with a 5-2 record. Coach Dan Froehlich '75 says, "This is the hardest working group of girls I've had since I began coaching with Southwest."  The JV team, pictured above playing the Roosevelt Teddies, includes some of the team's young talent. The Southwest Foundation supports athletics at Southwest with grants to benefit all athletes. Proceeds from the Al Crary Golf Event in August as well as gifts to the Foundation allow Athletic Director Ryan Lamberty to upgrade training facilities and replace equipment and supplies. Past large-scale projects include the Turn on the Lights Campaign to light the field for football, soccer, and track. The lessons in teamwork, persistence, practice, courage, and dedication also improve the athletes' performance in the classroom. And the confidence gained in competition sends Southwest students out into the world beyond high school ready to win.     We need your support to give Southwest's great students the life-changing experiences athletics and other extra-curricular activities provide. Please help us meet our goal of $110,000 which will be used to support academics, athletics and the arts for every student at Southwest.     We've raised over $69,000 and still have $41,000 to go! We need every supporter's help--please give now!   And, give while you shop by sending a percentage of your purchases to Southwest by using AmazonSmile or the Target RedCard.   Please give and forward this email to friends and family!         Help give Southwest's students the educational experiences, equipment, and supplies they need!     Thank you for your support!        Give Now!
