The plan MDUSD adopted to fund sports was from a combination of contribute-to-play fees and fund raising efforts. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford the “contribute-to-play” fees. At least one-third of the district’s 4000 high school athletes qualify for the reduced-price lunch program. For these students we are asking businesses and individuals to sponsor an athlete for a season. The average contribution-to-play fee is $250 plus a mandatory $100 transportation fee.
Your sponsorship could make a huge difference in the life of a high school athlete – complementing that student’s academic life and perhaps providing the main reason they choose to stay in school.
