Help Hale-Ray Girls Reach Nationals Dreams

Help Us Chase Our National Dream – Support Our 4x800 Relay Team!

Hi everyone!

We’re the 4x800 girls relay team from a small, close-knit town in Connecticut with big dreams and even bigger hearts. Recently, we won both our conference and state championships, and placed 11th at State Opens with a nationally qualifying time of 9:46. This season, through countless hours of training, grit, and teamwork, we've qualified for Nike Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon – one of the most prestigious high school track events in the country!

For runners from a small school like ours, this is more than just a race. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete on a national stage, represent our town, and show what small-town determination can do. We’ve already beaten the odds – now we need your help to cross the finish line.

Why We Need Your Help

Traveling across the country isn’t easy—or cheap. Between flights, hotel stays, entry fees, and meals, the cost quickly adds up. Our school and families are doing everything they can, but we still need help to make this dream a reality.

Your donation will help cover:

    •    ✈️ Airfare to Eugene, Oregon

    •     Lodging and meals during the meet

    •    ‍♀️ Entry fees and equipment

    •     Transportation while in Oregon

Every dollar brings us closer to the starting line. No amount is too small. If you can’t donate, sharing our page is another powerful way to support us!

Why It Matters

This team represents more than just athletic ability—we are students, teammates, and role models in our community. We’ve learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and what it means to dream beyond the boundaries of where we come from.

Help us bring small-town pride to the national stage. With your support, we’ll be racing not just for ourselves, but for every kid who dares to dream big.

From the bottom of our hearts—

Thank you.
