My Project

Our school's current pole vault and high jump mats are over 15 years old! Our school does not have the money to replace them. They are falling apart and beyond needing replaced. Please help support out track team by purchasing new mats. Our students would be so thankful, and also PROUD to host home track meets in our community!

Our athletes work so hard training all season long, often staying well past the scheduled practice time!

Please help us give them the best equipment, plus a laser timer, to be the best that they can be! They would be beyond thankful!
