10.  Cleats for Kids 2017 Competition with Heritage Hall  Caitlyn G. spoke at chapel and the drive is a go for the week ending in 1/27/2017.

 - I spoke with Ryan Murry from Heritage Hall. We talked about a “Casady vs. Heritage” idea where the two schools would work together to raise donations for C4K while also competing against each other. It would be like a way to have a friendly competition with them in something even though we no longer play each other in sports. We looked at the calendar and on January 27, both schools have home basketball games. Casady starts at 7 and Heritage starts at 9. We think it would be best to hold the drive the entire week leading up to this day. Then, on the 27th, I am looking for a fast food restaurant that would be willing to give some of its proceeds from that night to the cause. 
“Johnnie’s Day” a % of the sales of people who mentioned Cleats for Kids when ordering will go to Cleats for Kids.   they were from Casady or Heritage will go to help the mission of Cleats for Kids. Finally on Monday, after all of the donations have been counted, the winner will be announced.

 Information on Johnnie's Night fundraiser

Sales Up to $299.00 = 10%
