Wednesday, high school athletes in a variety of sports will be putting pen to paper and making official their pledge to play football, soccer, baseball and other sports at the college level. Particularly in the world of college football, "National Signing Day" has turned into something of a holiday for fans eager to find out if their favorite college program will get the top "blue-chip" recruits.

With so many schools in the area, there's no way we can get to all of them, which is where you come in. There are three ways you can make sure the athletes in your family or at your school can get the spotlight that he or she deserves. (All require a Patch login, which is free and painless!)

• Add a photo (and a caption) to our Pics & Clips Gallery
• Load an announcement
• Post a Blog

You can also email a photo to Gregg.Palermo@patch.com or text it to (314) 258-5768.

These are tools anyone can use to highlight what's going on in school, a business, athletic team, charitable organization, you name it. We're happy to help you spread the word on Patch!
