Like the title says.

My brothers high school(hes going into 9th grade) cut the budget for sports, except for football's budget, and the baseball team needs help. The field needs lots of attention, the announcers box has probably been there since the mid 60's, the team needs better team bats, etc.

The team needs to raise 20k for the season for the varsity and JV team. I am asking the forum as a whole, I need to run this by the owner of course but if he clears it it would be great.

it doesnt even have to be money, if you know people here in fl that cam give a helping hand, sod, fertilizer, equipment, etc it would be great!

thanks everyone

Does the team have any alumni that made it into the majors?

Have the parents pay if they want to play. Cut out all school sports. Way to much taxpayer money spent on sports that benefit a very small percentage of students.

Don't parents pay already?

School should be for Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. If it's not academics, then the parents should pay for extracurricular sports. Lot's of intramural sports around and if little Johnny wants to play ball, that's the way to do it without skyrocketing property taxes.

If you've ever had a child/student participate in organized sports, whether associated with a school or not . . . then you would already know the answer to my question is "yes."

Know a successful bailbondsman in FL?

Polk County. Every year football got the most attention. I did xcountry and soccer and we had to pretty much pay for all of our own stuff. Fund raising sometimes didn't cover everything
