Challenge Issued To DHS Nation: Your Financial Help Needed

The Dorchester Booster Club is offering a challenge to DHS alumni, patrons of the Dorchester School District and residents of the Dorchester area community. Numerous gym renovation projects are planned, according to DPS Activities Director Scott Pohl, including installation of new scoreboards, which school officials hope to acquire before the 2010-11 sports season. New wrestling mats are also being considered.
The Booster Club will match up to $1,000 for any donations that are given to the school towards the purchase of the new scoreboards and or wrestling mats. Todd Jensen, along with the Dorchester Little Kids Wrestling program, are also offering to make a significant donation toward these major purchases.

Donations of any size may be sent to the school in care of:

Scott Pohl
c/o Dorchester Public School
Box 7
Dorchester, NE 68343

Any amount, large or small, would be appreciated and will help meet the challenge that the Booster Club has made. If anyone has any questions about either purchase or how they help, they may contact Pohl at school (402-946-2781) or on his cell (402-418-1992).

  1. It would be better if I could make my donation to the community foundation and have them give the school the money. That way my donation is tax deductible.

  2. Would it work to make your donation directly to the Dorchester Booster Club? We would be happy to make out a receipt for you since we are a nonprofit organization.

  3. Several donations have been received by mail and many alumni generously donated this past weekend at the basketball tournament. To date $380 has been raised. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.

  4. To whom do we make our checks? I'd like to give a few bucks for new scoreboards.
