Registration is Ready!
Please access the below link to get registered. Every person is already associated to your team by the Captains. PLEASE USE THE EMAIL THAT YOUR CAPTAIN PROVIDED FOR YOU. If you don’t know which email to use, contact your Captain. Your email address is your unique identifier, so you cannot sign up multiple people with the same email address (aka kids :) ).
Sign up here! Instructions are on the sign up page.
Please complete your registration by June 30th. We will increase the cost $10 at some point on July 1st.
We’re running it back!
Beyond registration, the general idea for Growler 2025 is to once again “run it back”. With that in mind, here we go:
Run it back:
- Same number of teams (36). Same Tournament. First 4 on Monday. Tourney GPI calculation is unchanged. One small tweak: there will be 9 teams per Division playing Week 2 and 3 (full round-robin). Division Champs will be crowned. Week 1 is cross-division games (3).
- Registration cost is $85 total.
- We are not allowing for the purchase of Mulligan’s or extra T-shirts via registration (you can purchase these “on site” as needed).
- Most beer vendors are back. White Claw is back as seltzer provider. Most food vendors are back (sourcing some new ones).
- GrowlHer is back at Lake Park Aug 9th.
- Growler Masters is back at Greystone Aug 16th.
- Junior Growler, like last year, will have an instruction phase in the morning and then a competitive division (with more teams) in the afternoon to crown a Junior Growler Champion at Springdale on August 2nd (Saturday this year!).
- Volunteer tracking is unchanged for all main Growler and satellite events, and the plan is to have those roles available for selection in early July.
- The Player Pavilion is back to aid in providing each player a means of getting food, beer, and Gatorade (Thanks Pepsi!) Sponsored and staffed by GFL once again.
- The team minimum for fundraising is unchanged at $1500 each.
- Growler Gear pricing is unchanged.
Why are we doing this?
- Let’s take the momentum from last year and seek to continue the creative ways many of our teams have raised money.
- We will once again be doing some more Media involving the Growler kids and will be providing that to you for your own knowledge and also to possibly use in your fundraising pleas. If you need help in writing your email plea to your contacts, please let me know, as we can help with that as well.
- If you haven’t already, please go to St. Baldrick’s and set up your individual page. All team pages are in place that you can associate yourself to. As always, I would love for everyone to have a page and attempt some degree of fundraising. $213K (last year’s total) is a big number to beat. We need EVERYONE to help! https://www.stbaldricks.org/events/growler2025 Click “Join Us”, select your team, and complete set up.
Thanks in advance for all that you all do to make the Growler a success each year. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions and I can promise we’ll do what we can to make this the best event possible. More words as we get closer, but in the meantime get ready…IT’S COMING!
