Letter: Benefit helped Youth Ultimate teams

Thank you, Xpress, for posting about our Youth Ultimate fundraiser in the Conscious Party section [May 24]. Through our raffle and auction, we were able to raise enough money to fund teams at A.C. Reynolds, North Buncombe, Asheville High, Francine Delany and Blue Ridge.

We had over 125 young athletes compete in our Mountain Sports Festival Ultimate Frisbee Tournament [Memorial Day] weekend. Home School team topped last year’s champion’s A.C. Reynolds in the finals, and Franklin School of Innovation finished the middle school tournament undefeated.

Thanks for all of the support for Youth Ultimate! Look for our Ultimate Frisbee Summer Camp the week of Aug. 7! [It runs] 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in West Asheville. [Details: http://avl.mx/3t0]

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
