Lincoln Track and Field Fundraiser for 2024
Tax deductible
Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Red Bird Running Club, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
We try to create really amazing experiences for our student athletes and often times that requires financial contributions. Without your help none of this is possible.
Some things that we were able to do this year with last years financial contributions
- Purchased 175 new uniforms
- Provided over 75 scholarships for our athletes with our two team dinners
- Provided over 10 warm-ups for kids who could not afford them
- Provided over 15 pairs of training shoes, spikes, thrower shoes, etc. to athletes who could not afford them.
- Purchased straps and sleds for our sprinters
- Purchased 3 new pole vault poles for our pole vaulters
- Purchased a pole vault cart to transport equipment at practice and meets
- Bought 6 javelins, 4 discs, and 4 shots for our throwers
- Bought 4 new high jump and pole vault bars for training purposes
- Misc. equipment like rakes, shovels, tape measurers, broom sticks, sand, etc.
We have a lot of ideas for trying to continue to improve our program and the experience for all within our program. We are hoping to raise at least $15,000 dollars this year. Below are some of the things we'd like to try to buy:
- 9 sets of blocks - ($600 each) - we realized we didn't have enough this year with our numbers for everyone to have ample time to work in blocks and we need that to change
- High Jump Portable Cover ($15,000) - storage is limited in our athletic building and if we purchase a portable cover it'll protect our outdoor pits and open up storage in our building. I don't expect to raise $15,000 for this, this year but hoping we can raise enough in the next few years to buy this. https://www.eliteathleteinc.com/gill-pit-garage/
- Javelins ($500 each) - We broke 5 javelins this year and need to purchase some more to get back to a level where we have enough to practice.
These are just a few of the bigger purchases that we are trying to make but we also want to be able to continue to provide shoes, scholarships, equipment, and gear to those who can afford it.
If you are able to help and support, we so appreciate it!
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
