ootball season in Sandpoint has arrived, along with the chance

Fto support local players in more ways than one. From dedicated students and coaches to a highly supportive community, fall football in Sandpoint has an impact that is felt both in and outside of the stadium.

“We have a very competitive team that works really hard,” says Sandpoint High School football head coach Ryan Knowles, who’s looking forward to what his team will accomplish this season. “I am excited to see how we stack up against the best teams in the area.”

Every year, Sandpoint’s youth football teams rely closely on the local community for its energy, encouragement, and essential support through fundraising. The Sandpoint Football Foundation has been a key component of that fundraising, as a nonprofit organization specifically created to provide support for middle and high school students participating in Sandpoint football programs. “Our mission is to provide fundraising opportunities for kids and programs to alleviate the personal costs of equipment, purchase and maintain proper safety equipment, help provide meals for programs, help with personal costs of staff development clinics” and much more, the foundation states. Their efforts provide critical components that set players up for their best, safest fall season possible.

Sandpoint High School players are fitted with top-quality, highly safe football equipment, and the foundation’s efforts have been critical to making that happen.

As a nonprofit 501c3 organization, fundraising is the Sandpoint Football Foundation’s primary focus—like the highly anticipated annual car raffle sponsored by Taylor & Sons Chevrolet. The Taylor & Sons Sandpoint Football Foundation Car Raffle presents the chance for football supporters to win a new Chevrolet Equinox, with every raffle ticket sale fully supporting Sandpoint High School players.
