Waverly
athletes will visit Tioga Downs Tuesday to thank Jeff Gural for donated jerseys
Nichols,
N.Y. – August 28, 2017 –
The Waverly High School football team, which has been working to raise funds
and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project, will be visiting Tioga Downs
Tuesday to thank owner Jeff Gural for his support in that mission.
Mr. Gural generously donated $3500 to the team
to purchase Wounded Warrior jerseys. The Wounded Warrior Project is a military and veterans charity
service organization empowering injured veterans and their families.
On Wednesday, August 30 at 2:30 p.m., Waverly
football players will don their jerseys at Tioga Downs to thank Mr. Gural. During
their visit, the team will also record a video tribute thanking all of those
who serve our country. The recording will be played on the team’s video board
at the Wounded Warrior game on Friday September 8, Waverly’s first home game of
the season.
“It’s no secret that I’m very passionate
about supporting the men and women who have bravely and selflessly served our
country,” Jeff Gural said. “It’s wonderful that these students already share
that great respect and appreciation for the veterans who have sacrificed so
much for our freedom. It was my pleasure to donate these jerseys; I could not
be prouder of their efforts.”
The Waverly football team has been
fundraising, and will also be making a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project.
