On Friday, October 7, Batavia and Geneva High School football fans will meet at Batavia’s Bulldog Stadium for the 104th crosstown classic game and will also be wearing competing T-shirts.
Both high schools will be selling Geneva vs. Batavia “Competing for a Cause” T-shirts from now until game day. Geneva’s sales will support TriCity Family Services, and Batavia’s will support Freedom Fighter Outdoors, the Batavia Public Library Foundation, and the Batavia Foundation for Educational Excellence.
Each limited-edition T-shirt is $15. T-shirt sizes range from adult small to adult 2XL.
“We are fortunate to live in two communities that are very supportive — not only of our athletes but of our local charities as well,” said Geneva Athletic Director Matthew Hahn. “Competing for a Cause is about more than a passionate competition; it’s about acting as leaders to help others in need.”
“There is a special feeling in the air whenever our schools meet in competition. The players, coaches, and fans feel it. We capitalize on that feeling during the ‘Competition for a Cause", and our local charities benefit from it. We are thrilled to be partnering with Geneva High School again,” said Batavia High School varsity football coach Dennis Piron.
