The triangle 🔺️ that OneofUs.Care is founded on consists of three things, Kindness, Volunteering and Bartering, with the goal of creating things that don’t already exist. Bartering is the one we will focus on today.
The glaring need in regards to High School Athletics is our Track. Patrick County High School is in the process of upgrading their facility which will leave our School 🏫 as the only one in the area with an asphalt surface. The reality is that the bag of cash 💸 needed is beyond anything that I can help create, it has to come from a higher source.
Things brings us to the next biggest thing that Head Coach Shawn Montgomery and Assistant Coach Jon Delp need to help keep our Track and Field program pointed in the right direction, a new High Jump area. The cost of this is $15,000.00 and with the assistance of Tammy Quesenberry, Chuck Thompson, Samantha Reed, Hagen Giles out at Olde Mill Golf Resort ⛳, Kevin DeHaven and The Carroll News we will raise the $15,000.00 through Bartering.
I am so sure that this can work for both the High Jump area and other similar costs for other ventures that we will be guaranteeing half of the amount – $7,500.00. Tammy Quesenberry will focus on the other half, with the Carroll County High School Athletic Association helping her side.
We are looking for roughly 40 people from here in our Community who would be interested in joining us in this project and here’s a list of what they can choose from in return :
Write a check for $100.00 ( to Carroll County High School) and in return you will receive both a Good Feeling and a round of Golf and Cart at Olde Mill Golf Resort.
Write ✍ a check for $150.00 and you will receive those two things ➕ a copy of the Basketball 🏀 Book created after Carroll County won 🏆 back 2 back State Titles.
Write a check ✔ for $250.00 and you will receive those three things ➕ getting a space the size of a business card in the full page ad that will run 🏃♂️ in The Carroll News. The ad will be acknowledging OneofUs.Care, Olde Mill Golf Resort, the Carroll County Athletic Association and all that choose to play a role in helping the Team move this forward.
Brenden Fariss just finished up at the State Track and Field meet after qualifying in the High Jump for Carroll County High School. I was able to spend time with him in Lynchburg and it was then that I realized that he was having to travel down to Mount Airy to practice.
Bartering is an Answer that I have used across a lifetime and I think its a viable solution here and not just for the High Jump !
If you are interested in being one of the 40, you will also be invited out for a Celebration when everything is in place!
If you are interested in joining please reach out and I encourage people to share the story in hopes of getting the word out !
