Fundraising and Volunteering

Fundraising and Volunteering are the "non" athletic components of our program that involve both athletes and parents.  We depend on these functions for the teams to succeed and grow. Our fundraising events are primarily service-based  activities, not "selling" projects or soliciting things to be sold.  Our goal is to have fundraising be a part of learning and growing as a team through shared experiences as much as possible.

Fundraising

 What are the funds we raise needed for?   Funds are used to purchase:

1) TEAM GROWTH and SUPPORT - to  offer events and opportunities that encourage new runners and expose out sport. To offer special training (i.e. subsidize overnight camp) and special events (like Alumni Race and Picnic)

2)  BUSES - Most return transportation from meets and round trip for special  team events. (district only provides 1 way trip for most of our HS events).

3)  EQUIPMENT  Training equipment (timing devices, measuring wheels, cones, flags, tents,  etc..) and other meet-related expenses. Our District budget is spent entirely on race entry fees, we do not have an equipment budget.
