M-CHS fundraising gets early start
The M-CHS Booster Club will be sending student athletes out into the community to start selling ads for the 2015-16 athletic seasons to get an early start so that athletes will have the fundraiser behind them when it comes time to start training and practices in fall.
Businesses and community members are encouraged to help athletes funds for meals, uniforms, equipment and other purchases.
Donors can expect visits through August for M-CHS fall sports.
If you haven’t heard from an athlete and would like to purchase an ad package, email mchs.boostersclub@yahoo.com or call Sheri at 970-759-3172.
