Guest Registration & Meal Tickets

As you complete your registration, please remember to purchase one meal ticket for each guest attending. Meals for players and student managers are covered by the football program and Lightning Gridiron Club (LGC). No ticket purchase is necessary for these participants. 

 

Due to the venue's limited capacity, a maximum of two (2) family members or guests per player may attend. We appreciate your understanding as we work to accommodate as many of our football families as possible.

​

Help Support Our Lightning Football Family

Our end-of-season banquet is about more than celebrating wins and accomplishments. It's an opportunity to come together as a football family and recognize everyone who contributed to the season.

 

Sponsor a Meal for Another Family

We want every eligible football family to have the opportunity to celebrate with us. Please consider making an optional donation to help cover the cost of a banquet meal for another team family who may need financial assistance. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps ensure that financial circumstances don't prevent families from participating in this special celebration.

​

Contribute to the Coaches' Gift Fund

Our coaches and their spouses dedicate countless hours throughout the season to supporting our student-athletes, both on and off the field. As a token of our appreciation, we invite families to make an optional contribution to the Coaches' Gift Fund, which will go toward a collective gift thanking our coaching staff and their spouses for their time, commitment, and dedication to Appleton North Football.

​

Both donation opportunities will be available during the ticket registration process. Contributions are entirely voluntary and greatly appreciated.

​

Important Information for Freshmen Scout Team Families

We sincerely appreciate the dedication and contributions of our freshmen scout team players throughout the season. All freshmen scout team players are invited to attend the banquet, and their meals will be provided at no cost. Unfortunately, due to the venue's limited seating capacity, we are unable to accommodate parents or additional guests of freshmen scout team players. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Appleton North Football.

​

We look forward to celebrating an outstanding season with our Lightning football family!

Go Lightning!​
