Definantly make sure you can help a student that is financially chanlenged.

i agree my team also has the pay to play and most kids that i know cant afford to go to multiple events. ( ive been lucky enough to be able to)lets say (just throwing numbers out there) that to go to the two reginals its 450 and then money to spend for eats,and if you want to go to nationals its more but it really is all about funding if you dont have enough sponsers your going to have to pay out of your pockets
