Coach Beamer visited the 757 today to speak at Tidewater Council’s Breakfast of Champions.  He’s a very nice guy in person.

“MVP Level” donors received a commemorative “100th year of Scouting” football, which Coach autographed on the spot.

IT’S FOOTBALL TIME IN HAMPTON ROADS

THE THROW…

March 23, 2010 marks the 10th Annual Tidewater Council, Boy Scouts of America’s Breakfast of Champions. Game day starts with breakfast at 7:15 AM leading up to this year’s featured speaker, Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer!

THE TOUCHDOWN…

The Breakfast of Champions is a unique fundraising event in that there is no ticket price for attendance. Rather, attendees come to the breakfast, hear a brief story of Scouting and enjoy the morning with featured speaker Frank Beamer. Attendees are asked to make a contribution to Scouting of whatever they feel comfortable giving. Because most people wait until the day of the breakfast to make their donation, a Player’s Scorecard (Donation Form) is available at each place setting. There are several suggested giving levels provided on this form, the bottom line request being $167, the cost to support one youth in Scouting for one year. As a special recognition, anyone contributing $365 or more will receive a football to be autographed by Coach Beamer at the event. The minimum contribution to attend the breakfast should be $50.00 to cover the cost of the event per person.

TEAM STATS

As you probably know, the mission of the Tidewater Council is to provide a quality year-round Scouting program to our over 9,000 youth, their parents and over 4,000 adult volunteers throughout Hampton Roads. What you may not know is that donations from the community are the Tidewater Council’s primary funding source for operations. In short, this mission cannot survive without each of you!
