My Project

Please help give my athletes the supplies they need for a successful and safe meet. A canopy tent since we live and run in Florida in the summer, and it is hot! The canopy tent will allow the athletes time out of the sun while waiting to run or after their run. Please help give them water bottles to keep them hydrated and a tarp so they have a safe place to sit and cheer their teammates on. And cones to help guide us during meets and training. Thank you for supporting our athletes.
