SHS Team-Mates is a non-profit organization founded by Christian businessmen and coaches to provide mentoring and guidance to young men at Sumter High School. We are a part of the adult chapter of Sumter's Fellowship of Christian Athletes, FCA. Each Thursday night during football season, we will host a steak supper to feed the players and provide an inspirational speaker. Interested parents, fans, and former players are encouraged to attend and get to know the players on a personal basis. The cost of the supper for guest is $10.00. Please let us know by Wednesday if you plan on eating on Thursday. Guest that do not wish to eat are welcome at no charge. In past years, more than 75% of the players that attended camp did not have a father in the home. We are hopeful this sense of community will show the young men that there are people that care about them and know who they are off the football field.
Individual and business sponsorships are needed. Businesses will be recognized each week at the supper and in the program. Checks may be made to SHS Team-Mates or FCA and mailed c/o Palmetto Tire, 29 E. Wesmark Blvd, Sumter, SC 29150.
Suppers will be held in the commons area of Sumter High School from 5:00-6:30 every Thursday during the season.
