Donations kept coming into our team fundraiser after we announced a total earlier this season. What a great team effort!
Thanks to all our athletes, their families, and their fans, we raised about $15,000 this season. What will we do with all those donations? Here are some of the big items on our list:
- New uniforms (we've heard lots of excitement from athletes around this)
- New high quality starting blocks that will stay put and not slip (equally exciting)
- New pole vault mat cover (this has already been purchased and gone into use)
- Additional timing equipment for training
Other uses of our fundraising dollars typically include new equipment as needed (shots, discuses, poles, bars, rakes, etc.), stipends for additional coaches who are not covered in our district budget, and our traditions like CaPRiSuns for PRs, Chocolate Milk Mondays, and our banquet and awards expenses.
And speaking of banquets...
The HRHS Track banquet comes so late in the school year because we wait until after the State Championship so we can celebrate ALL of our team's achievements. Even though JV finished competing a couple of weeks ago, Monday's banquet will be just two days after the completion of the State Championship.
We're excited to celebrate with the entire team! All JV and Varsity athletes and their families are invited to our end of season banquet on
Monday, May 22nd @ 6:15 in the HRHS Commons
- Sophomores and Juniors: Bring heavy appetizers or salads to feed at least 10 people
- Freshmen and Seniors: Bring desserts to feed at least 10 people
- Coaches will provide plates, silverware, and drinks
