Outlaws boosters launch Hall of Fame

The Outlaws Booster Club will honor outstanding Outlaws with its first Hall of Fame induction ceremony at FivePine Lodge & Conference Center on June 25.

"The idea is to honor and recognize those who have contributed to Sisters High School programs - not just athletic programs, but other programs as well - in the past," said event spokesman Don Pollard.

Inductees could include past students, coaches and teachers.

Seven individuals, groups, or teams will be inducted in each of the first five years of the Hall of Fame, then the number will go down to five.

"Right now there's an abundance of candidates because it's never been done," said Pollard.

A committee will select the inductees, but anyone can make a nomination at http://www.SHShalloffame.org. The deadline for nominations is May 1.

The Hall of Fame induction is tying in with the Outlaw Open golf fundraising event held the next day at Aspen Lakes Golf Course.

"Really they're two separate events, but we're kind of putting them together," Pollard explained. "We're trying to kickstart the Outlaw Open again, get it filled."

The Outlaw Open is a significant fundraiser for Outlaws co-curricular programs.

Proceeds from the events will be distributed to Sisters School District programs based on a specific formula. Fifty percent of net proceeds are distributed to all SHS athletic programs based on each program's respective percentage of actual operating costs; 10 percent of net proceeds are distributed to SHS for allocation towards other SHS co-curricular activities like band, choir, Science Club, and other co-curricular programs.

Five percent of net proceeds are distributed to Sisters Elementary School.

Five of net proceeds are distributed to Sisters Middle School.

Thirty percent of net proceeds are distributed to the Outlaw Booster Club for allocation in a manner consistent with its mission to enhance Outlaws co-curricular activities.
