North High Track Booster Club Fundraising Progress
In LHNA’s ongoing fundraising partnership with the North High Polars, we wanted to provide a page for everyone to see the equipment cost breakdown and chart donation progress.
For more information and background on this effort see links at bottom of this page.
What does my donation get?
This cost per item chart below has been provided by the North High staff.
If it helps to think of your donation in terms of tangible items:
- $183.00 buys a hurdle.
- $1830.00 buys a lane of hurdles. There are 10 hurdles per lane.
- $337.00 buys a set of starting blocks. One set of blocks is needed for each of the 8 lanes on the track.
- $1,234.00 replaces the starting gun with a non-gun starting system.
And any amount helps. See how to make a donation below.
