With the ordering of this top, you will be an official Gold Rush member and get into ALL OTHS regular season home games FREE! Your top will arrive at C & C Sports in 7-10 business days after your order for you to pick up. We encourage you to wear your top to school and games! However, to get in FREE to OTHS home regular season games, you will need to show your GOLD RUSH card at the entry of a regular season home game. Note: Blue and gold games and play-off games are NOT regular season home games. Gold Rush cards will be distributed at security desk on both campuses during the week of August 25th. Please enter the OTHS student e-mail ( first name student id @students.oths.us) and parent/guardian e-mail, so we may e-mail both details of Gold Rush card distributions. Both e-mail addresses are very important as we like to communicate our theme dress days and other Gold Rush details throughout the school year. In order to get your Gold Rush card in time for fall sports, we need your order in by noon on August 21st. If you order after noon on August 21st, you will still receive your top in 7-10 business days but will not receive your free entry Gold Rush card until Winter Sports season. Go Panthers! We are looking forward to a great year supporting our athletics teams!!!!
