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.

The Seattle School District budget for athletics shrinks every year. The goal of the auction is to raise enough funds to fill the gap between what the district provides and the needs of the teams.   Our first auction was held in 2000 and we have been raising roughly $60,000 each year since.

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
