Our group started with a budget of $120,000 total. We received a
generous donation of 20,000 dollars from a football alumnus. Making it a
140,000 total budget. We have 151,350 in expenses that need to get
done. We decided to fundraise for four of our teams. We choose three of
our larger teams and one team that had a lot of expenses. Those teams
were football, downhill skiing, women’s and men’s track. At 60 dollars a
person times 219 would raise 13,140 dollars. Making our total budget
153,140. Next we did a pay to play for every player at 35 dollars a
person. At 459 people paying 35 dollars this would add 16,065. Making
our total budget 169,205. Subtracting our expenses from our total
budget it leaves us a total of 17,855 dollars to spend on other things.
We took team ranking into consideration and paid $10,000 for the
softball team tournament in Florida. We also paid $500 to the women’s
track and field team for discus and shot puts. Next we paid for each
team that needed new jerseys, which were men’s soccer, women’s soccer,
swimming, hockey, and volleyball. This is a total of $7,400. So with a
total of $17,900 expenses with 17,855 in budget left we went over by
$45. This concludes our group budget.

Dalton and Avery,
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job of explaining how you raised money to cover your budget and implemented "pay-to-play" to cover additional items. I am also glad that you did not resort to cutting any teams. I think the amount that people had to pay ($35.) is reasonable enough that no one should have to drop out of sports.
Good job.
