MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES

November 30, 2018

Dear Sponsor/Donor:

It is that time of year again. As we approach the holiday season, it is hard to believe that another spring is just around the corner, which means it’s “Flight Night” time again. In March of 2018, with special guests Jim Tressel and Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith from “The” Ohio State University, the Milford Athletic Boosters shattered records by once again selling out the event and raising a record $45,000.00. This year, our guests are:

9th Annual Milford Flight ight Thursday, March 7th , 2019 – 5:30 – 10:30 Oasis Golf & Conference Center in Loveland

FEATURED GUESTS SPEAKERS HALL OF FAMER JOE MORGA & “MR. PERFECT” TOM BROWIG From The

That’s right! After previous guests and the “Hit King” , it is only fitting to have another key member of the famed “Big Red Machine” come and share is stories of a career that spanned 22 years and ultimately landed him among the game’s “all-time” greats in Cooperstown and the Hall of Fame. Joe was a two-time Most Valuable Player Award winner in 1975 & 1976, was named an All-Star 10 times, won 5 Golden Glove Awards and of course, helped lead the Reds to back to back championships in 1975 & 1976. Many regard him as one of the best 2 nd baseman to ever play the game.

Our introductory speaker this year will be former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tom Browning. Tom pitched for the Reds for 11 seasons, in during that time won 123 games, and was part of the staff in 1990 that went “wire to wire” to win the World Series, in a 4 game sweep of the Oakland A’s. Tom was the winning pitcher in Game 3. His most famous win though, came in 1988 when he became just the 12 th pitched in major league history to pitch a “perfect game”, with the Reds 1-0 win over the on September 16 th . Tom just celebrated the 30 th anniversary of his amazing accomplishment, so we are extremely honored to have him come and share stories of the incredible performance, the 1990 team and much more.

Kicking off the night and joining us for a 4 th time as our event emcee, is local sports columnist Paul Daugherty. Paul spent a lot of time covering both of our guest speakers, so I’m sure he will once again bring his unique style of wit to our annual evening of celebrating some of the best athletes from the Cincinnati area.

Once again, I’d like to thank all of our corporate sponsors, many of whom have been with us since our first Flight Night in 2011. It is with their continued support, that the Milford Athletic Boosters is able to put forth an event that is highly regarded as one of the best such events in the city. It is with these sponsors, the many donors, and the loyal attendees of the event, which make Flight Night such a fun and prosperous night. I hope that you are excited about the lineup and that you will consider helping our fundraising efforts by purchasing a sponsorship table or group of tickets and joining us on March 7th , 2019.

Due to some added expenses this year, there will be, regrettably, a slight increase in the cost of V.I.P. tickets, which will also mean a slight increases to all sponsorship levels that include V.I.P. tickets. Thankfully, however, we are able to keep the cost of general admission tickets at $50.00 each, which includes dinner and the opportunity to hear our honored speakers. V.I.P. tickets will be $135.00 and will once again, include a cocktail reception, (with a drink ticket and hors d’oeuvres), and photo opportunity. Every V.I.P. will also receive a Rawlings Official Major League baseball hand signed by Hall of Famer and an 8x10 photo hand signed by “Mr. Perfect” Tom Browning.
