The fall sports fundraiser made seven thousand five hundred dollars this year alone. All of the fall sports were involved, and they sold gold card coupons. The cards had many reusable coupons and some non-reusable. All of the money raised gets put into one big pot where it is split up and given back to the teams to use for equipment. With both the boy's and girl's soccer teams being new, they needed everything now, which included two uniforms, warmup gear (jackets and sweats). They also got bags to hold all their gear. The other teams didn’t need that much stuff. The golf team didn’t get anything new this year but is hoping to get new bags, rain gear, and caps for next year's season. The football team just got a dozen new footballs for them to use. The cheer team got a lot more things than the other teams, not including soccer. They got two new uniforms and a set of warmups for the first male cheerleader. They also got two new megaphones, but they haven’t come in quite yet. Each teammate tried their best to sell the cards to help get all the equipment, not only for the sport they were in but all Lockwood High sports teams.
