AKRON — The RSKA Boosters are having a fundraiser for the Tippecanoe Valley High School football team on Friday, June 7.

At 6 p.m., attendees may tour the football field, press box, locker room and weight room. At 7 p.m. the event moves to the Akron Community Center where there will be speakers and a silent auction.

A dinner package is $35, which includes a meal, a vial of dirt from the original Death Valley football field and an exclusive alumni shirt. Beer will be sold for an additional cost, and there will be door prizes as well.

All former players, coaches, managers and others involved in Death Valley Football at the high school level are invited to attend, with people needing to be 18 or older and have graduated.

People may buy tickets at the Mentone Egg Festival’s pancake breakfast on Saturday, June 1, or at the community center the night of the event. The tour at the school is free.

Orville Haney with the Boosters said the group’s goals are “to fellowship with former players” and “to raise funds for the best equipment for our student-athletes.”
