This is in an area without large industry presence nearby and whose student population is over 80% on free and reduced lunch.

If a second year team and it's community can pull off $16,000 in less than two weeks. I can assure you even if you are in a rural setting and work hard ALL year, you can operate at a desirable budget for your team...


I am so proud of these guys. <3
