5. Eight played in college last year.

6. Coach Cole: Six years as Head Coach at Del Norte/Six years in CIF Playoffs.

7. Preparing to stream games in case stadium attendance is limited.

8. Postgame writeups of each game – chronicling the season.

9. TD Club has increased by 50% in size - more positions with dedicated responsibilities.

58% of varsity made the Union-Tribune’s All-Academic Team (18 out of 31)

That list includes 15 of our of 24 seniors – an amazing 63% at one of the San Diego County’s most challenging and highly ranked academic high schools.

Character Building

1. Players went to administrators and thanked them for support in 2019.

2. Players went to sponsors’ places of business and thanked them for their support in 2019.

3. Players volunteering to deliver Thank You Packages to local workers during the Pandemic.

Community Engagement

4. New website with multifaceted capabilities.

5. Instagram - 3 integrated campaigns with weekly postings:

a. Trivia Wednesdays – Focusing on facts, stats and the history of Del Norte football. Participants provide their contact information (data mining) and winner receive gift cards a donor purchased from local businesses to show community support during the pandemic.

b. Throwback Thursdays & Flashback Fridays – Featuring a cool poster of seniors who played last year along with a one minute testimonial about DNHS football complete with video of top plays by the featured player. Our focus will switch to next fall’s players beginning this summer.

Employer Matching of Donations to Football

How To Support The Del Norte Football Program

Many employers in San Diego will match gifts to any charitable organization made by their employees. In our program, The Touchdown Club receives payments for playing football at Del Norte High School, and it is a 501c3 charity. As a result, any contribution you make to us may be eligible to receive a employer matching funds.

To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please click on this link and enter your employer's name:

https://ww2.matchinggifts.com/search/unh

If your company has a matching program, please request a matching gift form from your employer, complete, execute and include it with your payments to the The Touchdown Club. We will do the rest.

In this way, contributions to our program may be doubled – and in certain instances, tripled! Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses of employees. With athletic budgets tight all around due to the coronavirus and the impact of the government-mandated shutdowns, we want to be diligent in leveraging our donations in this convenient and highly beneficial way.

Nighthawk Football Players & TD Club Thank Administration and Foundation

In February, leaders of the varsity football team, the Touchdown Club and Coach Cole met with Del Norte Principal Bryan Schultz, Athletic Director Mike Giaime, and DNHS Athletic Foundation President Dave Wheeler.

The Nighthawks thanked the Administration and Foundation for their support this academic year which contributed to a successful fall season. As a token of our appreciation, the team leaders presented each with a bound copy of our 2019 Football Yearbook, a game by game summery of the season that also included a team photo.
