A trademark that was at Colonist football games for decades is coming back, but WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The Anaheim Colonists football team running through the Big A was a regular tradition for many years. The new Big A will be as iconic as the one built by Mr. Dardarian and his students that was used from 1966 through 1987.
Our goal is to blow up the new inflatable BIG A by September 20th at the Varsity Football Homecoming Game, so we need to work fast!
New head coach Gus Martinez and his staff are working hard with a talented squad that returns nearly a dozen all-league players Together they are excited to initiate a new chapter in Anaheim Football, Orange County’s all-time winningest public school football program.
The new BIG A will give our current team an unforgettable experience before every home game. In addition to football games, the new BIG A will be used at other athletic and school events to provide a BIG dose of Blue and Gold Spirit, Pride and Tradition.
Any funds raised beyond the cost of the new BIG A will be donated to the Football Program. The goal is $12,000!
Help us bring back the BIG A with a tax-deductible donation to the Anaheim High School Alumni Association, a 501(c)(3) organization. Any amount is welcome and may be paid via check or by using the VENMO code below.
