NOW -- A No-Brainer Way to Support the TJ Vikings Fund and Help Tee Jay...GET KROGER TO DONATE to them!                                     

Here's how....Just go to Kroger's website (www.kroger.com), then go to your profile (if you already have an account to buy groceries) and on the Community Rewards (bottom block on the left sidebar), and lastly, add Tee Jay Fund (use 85943), and BINGO! Now, every time you use your Kroger card, and at no expense to you, Kroger will donate to the Tee Jay Fund!  

Please pass this potential act of brilliance on to your family and friends, and let's help today's Vikings!  I did it, and it feels good!

A Message from the Tee Jay Vikings Fund Re 2021 Report: 12/22/21

      Hi folks. As a result of the generous donations of Tee Jay alumni and many others, here is a summary of what the Tee Jay Vikings Fund was able to accomplish in 2021. We're also excited about projects for the coming year. Depending on donations, we hope to purchase equipment for the boy's baseball and girls' softball teams. I was shocked to learn that a portion of the uniforms has to be purchased by the players themselves!!   As we have for several years, we plan on funding 2 college scholarships along with other projects as we become aware of the needs. 

      Purchase of band equipment   $4098

      Teacher Appreciation                  $800

      Library reading incentive            $225

      2 Scholarships                         $3,000

      Folding Tables for special        $1,271

      events

      Bottled Water Summer Band        $77

      practice

      Box Lunches for the football

      team's out of town play off 

      game                                          $300                                          

      New Basketball Scoreboard    $4,302

     Total amount of donations   $14,073

If enough contributions come in to the Tee Jay Vikings Fund, we hope to provide meals for our players after home and away games. Why? Because the Vikings Fund is aware that TJ H.S. dismisses at 4:00, and our players don't get home until after dinner. Contributions can be made to:  www.teejayvikingsfund.org. or by US Mail:  Tee Jay Vikings Fund, PO Box 11451, Richmond Va. 23230. We are a 501c3 so all contributions are tax deductible. When you make a contribution, you can make a notation as to how you want your donation to be spent, or it can be unspecified. Thank you for supporting our Alma Mater,

                                  GO VIKINGS!
