LOWCOUNTRY BALLERS
THANK YOU
to all of the Lowcountry Baller players, parents, coaches and staff on the success of our first Community Service project this year. The results of the magazine and food collection are listed below:
Food Distribution top three:
3rd Place – 7th grade Girls
2nd Place – 7th grade Boys
……the winner is….. the 8th grade boys who donated 79 items in their assigned category!!!
Magazine top three:
3rd Place – 9th grade Girls
2nd Place – 10th grade girls
….the Winner is….the 10th grade boys who donated 84 magazines dated after September 2010!!!
It was a close competition with all teams providing numerous items requested. Some teams also donated items that were not listed in their individual requirements!!
Of course the Lowcountry Community is the big winner here.
OUR BALLERS donated 350 pounds of food to the Lowcountry Food Bank which equates to providing 269 meals to families in need in the Lowcountry!!!
In addition, 313 magazines were given to Roper and Trident Hospitals!!!
I would like to send out a huge note of appreciation to the following members of our Baller family; for assisting with the set up, calculations, packing the items for delivery, gift cards and/or distribution to the facilities.
Ms. Judy Flaschar, Ms. Cheryl & Cameron Kennedy, Mrs. Sherry Manning, Mr. Louis Bishop, Mrs. Betty Hooks & Jourdain, Ms. Pam Greene & Alsaliene, Mr & Mrs James & Vernetta & JC Simuel, Coach Hatchett & Mary Beth Hatchett, Coach Paden and family, Coach Garrett and Robert Jenkins, Jr.

Our first community service event for this season will take place from
9:00am - 3:00pm on Saturday, April 2
at Goose Creek High School.
We will be participating in a Food Drive and magazine collection. Items from the food drive will be donated to the Lowcountry Food Bank, magazines will be given to local hospitals. Each team will be asked to donate items from the list provided below. There will be a prize for the team that brings in the most items in the food and magazine sections, i.e. there will be a team food drive winner and a team magazine winner.
Remember your genorous acts are examples of how the
LOWCOUNTRY BALLERS WIN!!!
The food drive will take place only during the time period and day identified. Containers will be available to pack the items on that Saturday. The drop off site has been selected for ballers convenience as there will be several practices taking place throughout that day. Our second service project is being confirmed and should take place in May. More details to come!!

LOWCOUNTRY BALLERS
A special thanks to the parents that participated, Ms. Nelson, Ms. Haney, Ms. Hooks, Ms. Yates, Ms. Brice, and Ms. Frasier, yes very pregnant, all willing to bear the heat to support the girls. This is the first of what we hope will be a tradition with the Ballers, as it goes along way towards building character in the young girls that participate in the program annually.
