The most important part is you! We want you to join us in what plans to be an
exciting season for Collingswood
football. We plan the
following:
- A pre-game parade,
bonfire and reception on Friday night, October 3rd
- Our first home game
will feature the introduction of all former players, band members,
color guard and cheerleaders. Following the game join us behind the stadium
for a post game party
- Our team will wear
‘throwback’ jerseys recognizing the greats of CHS football
- A commemorative
program
- Anniversary hats,
coins and shirts
- The Thanksgiving
breakfast followed by our traditional football game
- Our Thanksgiving
Homecoming with former Homecoming Queens being honored
Throughout the season, at our home games, we will be
recognizing our former players, cheerleaders, majorettes, color guard and
band members. On Thanksgiving
we will add our former Homecoming Queens.
The important thing, and we need your help with this –
are you planning to attend?
Who can you contact and tell them about this exciting series of
events? Please help us
contact people from your class who were involved in Collingswood
football activities. We
are trying to reach everyone.
Please help!
To help finance our celebration we will be conducting a
Blue Raffle and a Gold Raffle.
All proceeds from the raffle go directly to the 100th
anniversary fund.
Our commemorative program will read like a media
guide. We would like to
feature all of our great teams and the individuals who made Collingswood
the leader in South Jersey football. Please see the
information about the program on the following pages.
Blue Raffle

All proceeds will cover the cost of the 100th

at the Races to be held at the Collingswood
Community Center.
Commemorative Program
We plan to do a “media guide” program to commemorate
the 100th anniversary. As part of our planning we will dedicate a section
to each football player and team that has been inducted into the
Collingswood Athletic Hall of Fame.
We would also like a recent picture of the player and a
high school picture – sort of a ‘then and now’ feature. If the high school picture is a
problem, we can get them from our yearbooks. Also planned is a ‘brag sheet’ on each player and
team. If you would like
to advertise in our program or brag about your team (not a Hall of Fame
team) you can reserve a page in the program for –
Full page = $200.00 Half
page = 100.00 Quarter
page = 50.00
Please send all program information and ads to Bob
Barikian at the High School.
Make checks payable to
Collingswood Football 100th and send them to Ed Hill in the Athletic Office.
The program will be sent to the printer is August,
making our deadline for all information
August 1, 2008.
Please
contact us by August 15th to let us know if you plan to
attend the opening weekend celebrations.
