Running in the Chi

Help me give my students hoodies and water bottles for the cross country season.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shafer's classroom raised $778

This project is fully funded

My Project

These hoodies and water bottles will help the team promote their program. We will be putting team logos on each item, with each athletes name as well, which allows the athletes to claim ownership of the team, and have a sense of pride in being on the team! Practically, these items will help the athletes stay warm on chilly days, and stay properly hydrated for the 3 mile + races they are running! Our athletes have a hard time remembering to dress warm prior to their race and to stay hydrated. What a great way to remind them!
