Sponsorship proves interest, provides equpiment
By Guy Chapman – Navarro County Gazette
Through generous sponsorship, Jennifer Fisher, 2020 season Coordinator of the Rice Pee Wee Football and Cheer Program through the Mike Dickens Memorial Youth Association, was able to outfit all thirty-five of their junior players helmets, shoulder pads and pants, practice dummies, footballs, and additional equipment.
The program has not been available for junior players for two years, and, despite not having funding or equipment, the MDMYA board brought back the program to see if there was still interest in the community.
The program sponsorship came from Arizona Charlie’s Bingo Hall in Rice, and the local Sonic/Shell station.
