On Friday, January 25th, 2013, the CASTLE BASKETBALL CHALLENGE will kick-off at 6:00pm with the girls varsity game at the NIU Convocation Center. The boys varsity game follows immediately after at 8pm. The Challenge was created to increase attendance at athletic events, raise funds and enhance awareness of local Sports Boosters organizations. Local businesses, organizations, and individuals are “Challenged” to help raise funds that will help support athletic programs for grades 6 through 12 with net proceeds distributed equally to both booster organizations.
The Castle Challenge was created in 2000 by Gary Evans and Ron Bemis, employees of Castle Bank who were looking for an opportunity to help raise money for the DeKalb and Sycamore Sports Booster Clubs. The concept was for Castle Bank to offer the lead sponsorship of the event and they would then challenge other local businesses from DeKalb and Sycamore to donate a minimum of $500.
If you are interested in becoming a Castle Challenge sponsor, please call Gary Evans at 758-2412 extension 8263 or email him. To learn more about the Castle Challenge community event and fundraiser, please visit www.castlechallenge.com.
