Our 33rd Annual Villa Athletic Boosters Shoot-A-Thon
was held January 20, 2024.
The Athletic Boosters host 2 fundraisers (Golf Outing and Shoot-a-Thon) that provide major support for ALL of Villa’s athletic programs.
Our 32nd Annual Shoot-a-Thon was Saturday, January 28th. We raised more than $11,000 for Villa Athletics! The event is broken down into different fun events for all.
Free Throw Contest
Students are encouraged to find sponsors to pledge an amount of money per shot made within a 3-minute period from an age appropriate distance and height. Families or sponsors may also choose to make a flat donation instead. Prizes will be awarded to the top shooters and fundraisers! Parents, coaches, and faculty are also invited to compete. For an entry fee of $10, you will have the opportunity to see how many shots you can make from the standard foul line in a 2-minute period. The contestant making the most shots will split this contest pot with the Boosters (and have some great bragging rights!).
Half-Court Shot Competition
All participants, including adults, are invited to participate in the Half-Court Shot Competition taking place every hour on the hour. Entry fee is $10. Anyone who makes a half-court shot will split this contest pot with any other successful shooters and the Boosters!
Competition Is Open to Everyone!
You do not have to be on a Villa basketball team to participate in this fun event. If you or your family wants to try your hand at the Free Throw Contest or the Half-Court shot, please join us! Simply complete the pledge sheet, and show up anytime between 9AM and 3PM. Tell the registration volunteers that you are in the Open Division!
