The funds raised provide uniforms and equipment needed throughout the year as well as cover travel and lodging expenses for regional and state competitions. This program supports and provides continuing opportunities for athletes to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy, while creating new friendships and sharing their gifts with family and their community.
