Dear George Fox Student Body,
We are very honored to be able to play football here at George Fox. Our players are very special, and your support on game days mean a great deal to them and our staff. We truly thank you for your time and energy. We really appreciated those of you that made the trip out to McMinnville to support us this past week. To come and support us on a windy and rainy day like that shows your commitment and loyalty.
I teach our men to be blue-collar workers. To never complain. Work as hard as you can at everything you do. And to never give up, no matter what. You students have shown the same blue-collar attributes. We could not do this without you.
On behalf of the whole team and staff, we sincerely thank you for supporting us and the environment you foster at our games, home or away.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Coach Chris Casey
