Golden Bear Fans
Dear Golden Bear Fans,

It’s hard to believe it, but the summer is almost over and HIES athletics are in full swing. Our fields and gyms are filled with athletes and coaches working to improve upon last year’s athletic successes. We hope that you will support their efforts by joining the Athletic Association’s Crimson and Gold program.

Upon payment of your Balanced Excellence dues, you can contribute additional funds to the Athletic Association through the Crimson and Gold program. The Crimson and Gold program offers several levels of giving each with its own set of benefits. Some of the perks include a Crimson and Gold t-shirt and tumbler, reserved parking at home football games, discounted admittance to either the annual golf or tennis tournament, and admittance to three Coaches Roundtables where members hear firsthand from the coaches and our Athletic Director, Ruth Donahoo. Contributors at the premier, “Ultimate” level will have the option of designating a portion of their Crimson and Gold dues to the sport of their choice.

The Crimson and Gold program provides support to each and every athlete at Holy Innocents’ (Click here to read more about how the Holy Innocents' Athletic Association and Crimson and Gold Program support athletics.),so we hope that each family will participate in this program.
