Track and Field/Cross Country teams start fund raiser

Sept. 16, 2003

 

The Tarleton State track and field teams, along with the cross country teams, are participating in a unique fundraising program, selling subscriptions to ESPN The Magazine to help raise much-needed funds for its teams. Headed by Head Coach Clint Strickland, the Texans and TexAnns are selling two-year subscriptions (52 issues) for $40 ­ a savings of over 80 percent off the newsstand price.

Unlike other fundraising efforts, an unprecedented 75 percent of the total sale goes directly back to the team. With checks made payable to Tarleton Track and Field, the program receives $30 for every subscription sold.

With hundreds of participating schools, ESPN The Magazine's innovative Coaches Fundraising Program is helping to keep athletic programs up and running. Local teams decide how the funds earned are used, including purchasing new equipment and uniforms, providing scholarships, reducing participation fees, defraying travel and tournament costs or holding an awards banquet.

ESPN The Magazine is a provocative and innovative sports publication. Full of insight, analysis, impact and wit, the oversized biweekly looks ahead to give fans a unique perspective on the world of sports.

To order your subscription, call Strickland at 254-968-9174 today. Don't miss this chance to get quality sports reports while helping support TSU track and field and cross country teams.
