Lanesborough Youth Football Team Thanks Community
The Lanesborough Tigers visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Museum in Canton, Ohio.
Last week, the members of the youth football team gave it their all at the World Football Championships in Canton, Ohio.
The trip included, among other things, a chance for the team to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Museum, host of the tournament.
The 2019 Berkshire County Champions and Northeast Regional Champions were helped in their trip by hundreds of donors — named and anonymous — who contributed to the team either directly or through its Gofundme page.
This week, the "Lanesborough Senior Tigers Family" sent a letter of thanks to all those who lent a hand:
"The Lanesborough Senior Tigers football family (players, coaches & parents) would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the local businesses, foundations, town associations, and individuals who so generously donated and supported our football team’s amazing journeys to both the Regional Tournament in Sparta, N.J., and the World Youth Football Championship Tournament in Canton, Ohio this fall.
"The generosity and support we received from the community during this holiday season was overwhelming. The team had an amazing experience and created life-long memories, including the chance to play some incredibly talented teams and the opportunity to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"The Tigers played hard and represented Berkshire County as best we could, but without your community support, we wouldn’t have had these opportunities. So again, thank you and best wishes from the Tiger Football Family. Happy Holidays to all!"
