 CHAPEL HILL – In the wake of devastating flooding in the eastern portion of North Carolina, Commissioner Que Tucker and the NCHSAA Board of Directors has declared Friday, October 21st to be Hurricane Matthew Relief Assistance Night at all NCHSAA football contests.
Member schools are asked to participate by collecting money at any home football contest that night and then forward those monies to the Association which will act as a clearinghouse. All money will be divided and sent to Local Education Agencies in the counties that have been designated as disaster areas and were federally approved for individual assistance to help homeowners and renters repair or replace damaged homes.
The NCHSAA Board of Directors has approved matching funds up to $20,000 to add to the money collected on October 21st by member schools on Hurricane Matthew Relief Assistance Night. Funds distributed to affected LEA’s would be available to help the schools as determined by local school boards.
With so much devastation across eastern North Carolina, we began thinking about what might be possible to directly help our schools that have been affected,” said NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker. “We remembered Hurricane Floyd and that we collected money at Regional Meetings, with the NCHSAA supplying a match in that case as well. Once again, we want to get our school communities involved to help our member schools and systems recover from this wide-spread disaster.”
The Board of Directors also approved designating Friday, December 16th as a Hurricane Matthew Relief Assistance Night, asking member schools to take up money at a home basketball games to contribute to the relief effort. Again the proceeds from that night would be sent to the NCHSAA, which would act as a clearinghouse to distribute the funds to affected LEA’s and the NCHSAA will match money raised in the December 16th relief effort up to $20,000.
“Great things are possible when we all work together,” Commissioner Que Tucker said. “This is a service opportunity for our membership and we must rally around those who have been devastated by this historic flooding in eastern North Carolina.”
Once you as a school have decided to participate, please send an email to James Alverson at james@nchsaa.org detailing the game. Please include the site of the game, kickoff time, and opponent as well as any special details about how you are planning to participate. Information sent will be posted and updated on a web page detailing the effort.
