The Oak Glen Touchdown Club hosted an inaugural school spirit event at Chester City Park on Friday night, drawing a large crowd and creating a buzz of excitement in the community. The event was a huge success, with both the front and rear parking lots filled to capacity. Attendees were treated to live music, fall sports team introductions, booths for all the high school sports and clubs, performances by the Oak Glen cheerleaders and marching band, a cornhole tournament, and food trucks.
One of the highlights of the event was the presence of the Hancock County Family Support Center, which provided school supplies, popcorn, and activities for the kids. This added an element of community support and engagement to the event, showcasing the strong bonds between the school and the local community.
The Oak Glen Touchdown Club went above and beyond by organizing a variety of activities and fundraising efforts during the event. One such initiative was a Ball Pong station run by the high school soccer team, where participants had the chance to win gift cards by sinking soccer balls into buckets. This not only added a fun and interactive element to the event but also helped raise funds for a worthy cause.
In addition to the Ball Pong station, attendees could also enjoy face painting, hair chalk, and tattoos at the Oak Glen golf team booth. Volunteers worked tirelessly to provide these services, adding to the festive atmosphere of the event. The club also collected donations for the Wells Brothers, who were in need of financial assistance for a family member’s burial. This act of kindness and generosity further highlighted the spirit of community and support that was evident throughout the event.
The Oak Glen cheerleaders and football team were also actively involved in the event, socializing with attendees and preparing for their performances later in the evening. The cheerleaders were set to perform on the Davis Pharmacy stage, while the football team was gearing up to be introduced along with the other fall teams. Their presence added to the excitement and energy of the event, showcasing the talent and dedication of Oak Glen’s student athletes.
Overall, the Oak Glen Touchdown Club’s inaugural school spirit event was a resounding success, bringing together students, families, and community members for a night of fun, entertainment, and support. The event not only showcased the school’s spirit and pride but also highlighted the strong sense of community and togetherness that defines Oak Glen. It was a night to remember and a testament to the power of unity and collaboration in creating memorable and impactful events.
