Program Fee/Fundraising

• Why: There are currently 150+ athletes out for track and field this spring. As a result, we have hired 7 coaches. DCSD provides 4 assistant coaching stipends for the spring track & field season. To ensure all of our athletes have proper coaching we are asking every family on the team to make a small donation to the Track & Field Booster Club.
• Program Fee Recommendations:
  • $75 recommended additional program fee to help compensate our assistant coaches, purchase equipment, and cover meet entry fees for the 2025 spring season. 
  • Other Amount: Any amount to help support the program is greatly appreciated if you are unable to afford the recommended $75. Likewise, if you would like to donate more your support is always valued. If you would like to donate a different amount, please visit this MySchoolBucks program fee LINK  and use the drop down menu to choose your donation amount
