***Don’t forget to sign up for the triathlon this Saturday! Anyone can help, this is a fundraiser for the cross country and track teams. The more volunteers that we have, the more money we make! ***

Calling all athletes, families, alumni & even friends... We are in desperate need of volunteers for our triathalon fundraiser next weekend (Colonial Beach, Sunday 6/23/24). It's a fun, easy morning....but we need more volunteers before we will earn any money!

The track & XC teams are continuing to raise funds to support meet fees, banquets and equipment needs. Equipment needs include blocks, shot puts, medicine balls, discus, high jump pad, stop watches, parachutes, etc. If we come out in numbers we can easily knock a huge part of our fundraising needs out as we are paid by the number of volunteers.

We will be helping with body marking, course monitoring and finish line duties. We receive t-shirts and they feed us well while we are there. Both of the last 2 years we had a great time and it made for great team bonding!

Check out the $ amounts we can earn:

10 VOLUNTEERS = $200

15 VOLUNTEERS = $300

20 VOLUNTEERS = $500

25 VOLUNTEERS = $600

30 VOLUNTEERS = $700

35 VOLUNTEERS = $800

40 VOLUNTEERS = $1000

Also, athletes can sign up to bring friends, family, and friends of the family etc....to count towards our fundraising efforts!!
