I shared that I am a coach a few times. I had coached various levels but went back to High School when my kid played. This is likely my last year of high school, and I have a good team. For various reasons, some political some bad timing I have never played or coached in the most prestigious tournament in my region. Though by the criteria (#1 in my city preseason rankings) I should have been invited this year the kind people instead invited the team that missed a chance to play last year due to covid. That team withdrew realizing they were not up to the high level of competition, and now we are able to go. In many ways, win or lose it is a nice way for me to go out, and I then leave the basement-dwelling (before I came) program at or near the top.
Here is my problem. We are a school with low-income students and we need to fund our travel from student fees. We are already maxed out. In fact I have already had to chip in for shoes, and other fees for my guys. I will not ask for $ directly but the link below is a local charity that has helped me immeasurably through the years. I explained to them I would try to raise donations money for them before I came back to ask for more. If you are in Canada you get a tax receipt for a charitable donation. They take Paypal, etc. If you donate drop them a line that you were sent by the Walter Murray (school name) team, or PM me for my personal info. If say ten guys donate 15 bucks each that is probably hotel costs for 4 players.

Edit: If you donate I will ignore all of the cliche Canadian jokes for one year. If you donate enough I will leave a Canadian accent voice message on your cell phone, eh.
