Westlake Football kicks off season with fundraiser

The Westlake Football Backers will host the third annual Meet-The-Team Season Kick-Off community event and fundraiser on Monday, Aug. 17, 6-9:30 p.m., at the St. Clarence Pavilion, 30106 Lorain Rd., North Olmsted. We are partnering with WYFA (the Westlake Youth Football Association) and WHS Cheerleading, along with football families, coaches and players. The event provides an opportunity for the entire community and alumni to meet all players for the seventh-grade, eighth-grade, freshman, JV and varsity teams.

Dave Chudowsky, WKYC sportscaster, will be the emcee for the event. The evening will also include presentations of the teams and coaching staff, dinner, slideshows, raffles, apparel sales, spirit sales, and lots of other fun.

The event is open to the  community and alumni to gather and "kick-off" the season by showing support for the teams and players. The funds generated from this event go towards team equipment needs, team apparel, team dinner supplies, team snacks, spirit items for the season, and much more. Ticket price is $12 per person.
