To the editor:

Members of the freshman class at Westport High School were faced with the task of raising the monies necessary to fund a freshman basketball team. Without their efforts the school would not be able to field a team this season. With the help of concerned individuals and local businesses, the young student-athletes were able to reach their goal.

The parents and players of the 2009-2010 Westport High Freshman Boys Basketball team would like to extend their thanks to the many businesses and individuals who helped in this effort: Acoaxet Veterinary Clinic, Nick's Pizza, K&B Floor Covering, Inc., Pacheco Insurance, Key Container Corp. of Pawtucket, RI, AG Bettencourt, Capeway Roofing Systems, Inc., Olympia Pizza, Sticks, Stones & Stars, Four Elements Salon & Spa, Bruce's Saw Shop, Mason's Corner, Sisters of Solace, In Harmony Therapeutic Massage, Westport Boys Basketball League, Lees Market, Law Office of Michael T.

Friar, Mr. Peter Defusco, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Novo , Mr. Dennis Forest, Westport Police and Mechanic's Bank.. We would also like to thank Harry's Country Store, Stop & Shop of Dartmouth & Westport Market for allowing our "can shakers" to solicit donors on their venues.
