🏈💙 CONCESSION STAND UPDATE! 💙🏈

With only two more weeks of practices before we host the Super Bowl on October 10th, we’re simplifying our hot food menu a little so we can make sure we’re FULLY STOCKED and ready for the big day! 🏆

For the next two weeks, our hot food lineup will be:

🌮 Walking Tacos (limited quantity but we will have plenty for the Super Bowl 😁)
🌭 Hot Dogs
🍕 Mini Pizzas

Don’t worry — we’ll still have all your other concession stand favorites, including popcorn, candy, pickles, ice cream, drinks & more! 🍿🍬🥒🍦

Thank you for supporting the BYF concession all season long! Every purchase helps support our program and our kids. 💙🖤🤍

Next stop: SUPER BOWL! 🏆🏈
And we may have a few NEW items making their debut at the Super Bowl… 👀

🏈Next up in our “Meet Your BYF Board” series is our Treasurer and Secretary, Alicia Gonzalez!! 💙

Alicia has been involved with BYF since 2018 and has served on the board for the past 7 years. While her official titles may be Treasurer and Secretary, anyone who has been around BYF knows that Alicia’s role goes far beyond what’s listed on paper.😅

She is one of those people who is always willing to jump in, figure something out, help wherever she’s needed, and somehow always seems to be the person everyone goes to when they need something. 😂 She does so much behind the scenes to help keep this program moving, and honestly, BYF would not be where it is today without her.

Alicia is an incredible asset to this organization, and although she probably won’t give herself nearly enough credit, we are so incredibly grateful for everything she does for our kids, our families and our program. 💙

🍫 Go-to concession food: Anything sweet!

🏈 Best thing about being on the board:
“Making a positive impact on kids’ lives and giving them the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Helping them learn teamwork, discipline, responsibility, confidence and what it means to never give up.”

😂 Fun fact about me:
My phone is probably dead, my gas tank is probably on E, and somehow I’m still the person everyone calls when they need something!

❤️ A little more about me:
I have three children. My oldest daughter is 17 and has helped coach with BYF, participates in competitive dance and is a Devilette. My son is 14, participates in motocross and has his own mowing business. My youngest daughter is 12 and stays busy with youth dance, basketball, softball, school cheer and competitive dance!

We are so lucky to have Alicia as part of our BYF family. She gives so much of herself to this program, often quietly and behind the scenes, and we hope she knows just how much she is appreciated. Thank you for everything you do, Alicia! 💙🏈

Week 5!!! Cheerleaders and dancers of the week 💙💙 these cheerleaders and dancers were picked by their coaches because of their great attributions at practice

Kinderpoms: Ellie Walsh! “Ellie was a shining star at practice and the game this week!” -Coach Penny

Peanut Cheer: Taylor Horton! “Taylor is always ready to cheer and comes to practice with such a great attitude! She is always willing to try her best, learn new things, and keep working even when something is challenging. She brings so much energy and excitement to the team, and it is so fun watching her grow and improve each week!” - Coach Gracie

Freshman Cheer: Camilla Cintora! “She always comes to practice ready to learn. She is always adapting to any changes or corrections that get made. She jumped right in when I asked if she wanted to go up in a stunt and is always bringing a positive attitude to practice and game days.” -Coach Merissa

JV Dance: Miah Grissom! “Miah has really come out of her shell within he last week! She has Ben practicing constantly and has been making ever correction she’s given. I’m so happy to have Miah this year!” -Coach Isabelle

JV Cheer: Hunter Miller! “She has made every effort to literally put her best foot forward! Hunter is a wonderful additon to the JV squad because when the squad is learning a new formation, she makes sure to ask ALL the questions so she can learn the moves.” - Coach Harmony

Varsity Cheer: Hattie Musson! “She is always showing up to practice with a smile on her face and ready to go! She has tried many brand new skills this season that scared her, but she jumped right in and tried them anyway. Not only is she always pushing herself to do better, but she also is also cheering on her teammates and pushing them to do better as well. She is the true definition of the type of leader a cheerleader should be!!” -Coach Harley

Varsity Dance: Anistyn Zarate! “She has been working especially hard on focusing on her arms and cleaning up her movements. She always comes in with a smile on her face and a positive attitude!” - Coach Lexie

Stay tuned to see who will represent BYF at the county level!

🏈Meet your BYF Board🏈

Next up in our “Meet the Board” series is our Fundraising and Apparel Manager Kim Miller! Kim has been involved with BYF for about 10 years, and this is her second year on the board.

🍿 Go to confession food: Popcorn

🏈 Best Part about being on the board: “Helping with decision making to make the program better for the kids!”

💙 A little more about me: “This is my 2nd go around with BYF. My oldest son played 20 years ago! I started over and doing it all again! I work full time in radiology, sell Pampered Chef, coach baseball, basketball, and now help coach soccer! I have 6 kids (bonus kids included) ranging from ages 27-8. And 2 grandbabies! So just because you are busy you can still join the board and help make a difference!”

As busy as life can get, Kim is a perfect example of how you can still make time to give back and make a difference.

Kim, thank you for continuing to show up, lend your ideas, put in the work, and help move BYF forward. We truly appreciate everything you do for our organization and our kids! 💙🏈

And we’re pretty sure after all those years of BYF, coaching, kids, grandbabies, and everything else… you’ve earned a LOT of popcorn! 🍿😂

Thank you for being part of our BYF family, Kim!

🏈Meet your BYF Board🏈

Next up in our “Meet the Board” series is our Concession Manager, Katie Bonomo! 💙 Katie has been a part of BYF for 4 years, and this is her second year serving on the board.

🍿 Go-to concession food: Popcorn

🏈 Best part about being on the youth football board: “I love watching the kids’ confidence grow from the beginning of the season to the end. Also grateful to have the opportunity to be a small part of a program that means so much to so many families and to be able to give back to the community that gave me so many great memories growing up.”

🎃 Fun fact: I am a lover of Halloween and all things fall 🍂 It is my favorite time of year and I will absolutely use it as an excuse to decorate everything😂😈👻

❤️ A little more about me:
My husband Justin and I have been together for 22 years, and we have two daughters, Harper, 7, and Lennon, 5. This is Harper’s fourth year in the program and Lennon’s third! 💙📣

I grew up right here in Bismarck, so getting to watch my girls grow up in the same community means so much to me. I started out as a Peanut Cheerleader in 1991, back when we were still black and red! 😂❤️🖤 Some of my very favorite childhood memories were made right here at the park, so getting to come full circle and now watch my own girls make memories here is pretty special. 🥹

Thank you Katie, for your dedication and commitment to BYF and our concession stand! The concession is a huge part of game days, and there is so much work that happens behind the scenes to keep it running smoothly. Thank you for all the time, energy, and heart you pour into this program and our BYF families! We appreciate you! 💙🏈

Be sure to follow along as we continue introducing you to the people behind the scenes who help make BYF possible! 💙🏈
