The Warriors would like to thank Mr. Joe Lionardo for purchasing an additional piece of team equipment for each of the players.
The players were presented with a choice of gear: sweatshirts, wind jackets, equipment bags, hats, etc. The players voted for equipment bags. Each player (including our 11 year olds) has received a red equipment bag (with black trim) with his name, uniform number and the Warriors' logo on it as a result of this generous contribution.
Joe made this contribution courtesy of Coach Matt Rafferty. The Warriors would like to thank Matt Rafferty for securing this sponsorship, identifying a vendor and coordinating the equipment order. It is Matt's efforts that made this possible.
Earlier in the season, Coach Rich Tannebaum and Ron Drabeck each made generous contributions to the team in the name of their businesses. As a result of their generosity, the Warriors were able to expand its schedule and play (fund) several additional games in the Chicagoland Metro League.
Please take the time to thank Matt, Rich and Ron for making financial contributions to the team above and beyond the registration fees. Thanks to Kim Lewis and Carrie Rafferty for volunteering to capture and frame a team photo as a token of our team's appreciation to Joe Lionardo.
