ALL SPORTS “Rider Hall of Fame”AUCTION

 

Benefiting  ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL

 

This year's auction is scheduled for Saturday January 26, 2008 at 6:00 pm


 

Roosevelt High School encourages all students to participate in athletics, band and cheer squad, regardless of their ability to pay.  We are proud of the fact that over 850 students participate in these programs each year.

  

Unfortunately, the Seattle School District’s current budget crisis will adversely affect the funding of our athletic programs.  With this auction we hope to supplement the district’s funding.   We have held four Annual Sports Auctions; raising between $40,000, and $60,000 each year

  

As you can see from the facts below, trying to fund 12 men’s and 12 women’s sports teams, as well as a marching band, cheer squad, and club sports, is costly!

  • Transporting one team to one sporting event costs $ 275
  • One vaulting box for the gymnastics team costs $ 2800
  • The cost to the band for one trumpet player is $ 300
  • The cost for one football player’s equipment is $400

     

    These are only a few examples of what it costs to support these vital programs in high school.  The NEED for this auction is clear, and our goals are simple.

    • To supplement the school's athletic budget.
    • To stay on an even par with our competitors when it comes to coaching, equipment, uniforms, fields, and
      referees.
    • To keep students active and involved.

      

    ALL DONATIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
