Would Anyone Like To Advertise in a Hockey Program

Posted on by Nichole S.

The Essex Tech Hockey teams including my son, Thatcher, are looking for local businesses (players come from 15 different cities and towns in our surrounding area) to advertise in their hockey program book. They are also collecting items to be raffled off at an upcoming fundraising event. This is a nice opportunity to advertise with a pretty decent reach and support some hardworking players! Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School Hockey (ENSATSH) is a non-profit high school ice hockey program for high school students.  The team has approximately 55 players on our Varsity and Junior Varsity teams from approximately 15 different communities.

Our mission at ENSATSH is to provide support for a positive hockey experience for all Essex Tech hockey players.  We strive to enforce fair play and sportsmanship from each player as well as to foster an appreciation of ice hockey and skating that will last a lifetime. Our coaches, parents, and players are extremely dedicated to the program. As a non-profit 501 (C) 3 corporation, fundraising is critical to the success of our program.  We are collecting Ads for our Program Book and hosting a comedy night in February 2022 for which we are looking for donations of food or raffle items.

Please reach out to me via a comment or at nicholeschrafft@comcast.net if you would like to learn more. My #18 would really appreciate the support!

I’m sorry

Dear Friends. 😂😂

Please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to attend your birthdays or any events, As you know, my passion is boating and spending as much time aboard as we can.

The short Cape Ann boating season and the high costs associated with the boat to sit idle (unused for a weekend) requires me to say no to all non boating events planned during this boating season.

Please don’t take this personally, but I hope you understand my formal summer weekend policy. If you would like to move your special events after Oct 15th and before May 15th, I would be happy to attend.

I hope you respect my position, as I respect yours selecting a date that ruins summer weekend plans which everyone is dreading going to anyways.

Knowing that you will not change the date to accommodate my schedule, please find enclosed a check as a gift.
