Kell Touchdown Club Archives

High school football teams will be starting preseason practices soon, and four East Cobb booster clubs have scheduled fundraising events.

The first comes tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 26, the Lassiter Trojan Golf Classic, which has a shotgun start at 8 a.m. at Bradshaw Farms Golf Club in Woodstock. The cost is $125 per player or $500 per team, and there will be a closest-to-the-pin competition, as well as awards and a luncheon.

You can get more information and sign up at the Lassiter Touchdown Club website. This year the Trojans are welcoming a new coach, Sean Thorn.

On Monday, the Walton Touchdown Club is holding its annual golf outing at Indian Hills Country Club. That gets underway with a shotgun scramble at 10 a.m., and the day-long event concludes with a happy hour and silent auction, as well as prizes and awards. The cost is $150/person or $500/team.

The Kell Touchdown Club is holding a Casino Night fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 7-10 p.m. at Transfiguration Catholic Church. This is the second year for the event, which costs $25 a person and is limited to adults 18 years old and older. The ticket price includes hors d’oeuvres, drink tickets and prizes, and raffle tickets also will be available for purchase at the event.

The Pope Touchdown Club is holding its annual pancake breakfast and team picture day on Aug. 3 at the school (3001 Hembree Road).

We just got this from Chip Oudt at the Kell Touchdown Club. If you can help, they’d appreciate it, and sunny skies and mild temperatures (highs in the low 80s) are in Saturday’s forecast:

We need 3 people to volunteer to help paint the goal post on Saturday September 2nd at 3:30 PM. Don’t worry, we have a Lift so we’re not going to dangle you out there on a ladder. We will need people who are not afraid of heights. With enough help we should be able to knock this out in a day (or a week). Seriously, I have been told by the paint manufacturer that he has painted two goal post in 4 hours just by himself. (We will see). Of course you will get volunteer time! All paint and rollers are supplied so we just need you. Email Chip Oudt at chipoudt@gmail.com if you are available and willing to help.
