Saturday, October 27 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Refreshments served The H eppner youth program helmet fundraising drive was reported to be a huge hit this year. The team was able to purchase 57 new helmets for players in grades five through eight. “The helmets we had were outdated or would becom e outdated soon, so we really needed some help getting the kids into the best and safest helmet,” said Heppner High School coach Greg Grant. “We sent out the word through the newspaper and word of mouth and we had a trem endous response. It is so gratifying to work in a community that con sistently steps up for their kids,” said Grant. The helmets are the newest Zenith model that has technology built in to help with a better fit. “The research shows that the brand of helmet is really of no consequence in prevention of injury, but the fit and how we teach is the most important aspect. The Zenith model was the best in fitting our kids, so we went with that model. Donors who helped make this possible included Ken and Carrie Grieb, Vir ginia Grieb, Casey Fletcher, Cody Fletcher, Sandi Han na. Shawn Wilson, Staci Wilson, Palmer Roofing, H eppner B ooster Club, Howard Bryant, Todd and Melissa Lindsay, Andy and Andrea Fletcher, Russ and Toni Nichols, Scott and Nicole Coe, Jay and Sue Gibbs, and Dan and Doris Brosnan.
