An Idea

As kids, I believe everyone looked in the Evanston Review and learned about ETHS Sports. Here is an idea...

An annual fundraiser could enough money to reserve space in the Evanston Review and run a weekly profile (during the football season) for a player/coach of the Evanston Football program. You can see this in the Sun Times in the prep section. It asks their favorite class, what colleges they like, etc. This idea would be a grass roots effort that would give exposure to the program and reintroduce the team to the community. Also, I can imagine they're a bunch of 6th through 8th graders who would aspire to one day make the paper. I hear the teams have been thin during the past few years.

The cost of this ad space would be reasonable and attainable. In addition, if rules allow, I'm sure we could find local sponsors to pitch in. For example, EAC's (Evanston Athletic Club) Wild Kit Player/coach of the week.

This is just an idea that would create a buzz and get more kids interested in playing for a program what we were so proud to play for.

Please share your thoughts.
