LAURINBURG — The St. Andrews Knights football team is inviting everyone to come out on Saturday to its fundraiser, which will be going on while the team battles it out on the gridiron against its rival competitor.
“We will be having a plate sale,” said defensive line coach and fundraiser coordinator AJ Holke. “Each plate will include chicken quarters, coleslaw, cowboy beans, a roll and a drink.”
Holke said the team is prepared to feed up to 200.
“The plates are selling for $10 each,” said Holke. “This fundraiser will help us outfit our players with travel gear, allowing us to look in unison when we take our team on the road or participate in events within the community.”
The plate sale will be located on the Northside Endzone which is next to the softball field dugout and batting cage inside the football field gate.
“You do not need to attend the game to get yourself some delicious food while also supporting Knights Football,” said Holke. “Food can be picked up between the hours of 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.”
Acceptable payment methods are cash or CashApp to $AMYOXENTINE.
