The four teams we decided to do the fundraisers were the football (15 players), Men’s and Women’s Swimming (60 players), Women’s Track and Field (65 players), and Men’s Track and Field (55 players), which gives us a total of $15,300 more. We chose these teams, because we figured we would pick the top four teams who had the most players, thinking the more players fundraising, the more money each team would bring back. This is where the number of athletes on a team played an important role.. We also decided to give the $2,000 donation to the football team. After adding everything together (in bold) the total amount was $151,350. After adding all of our revenues up after fundraising and denotations, the total came up to $155,300. We had $3,950 left over. We decided that $2,000 of the extra money will go to the Hockey team, so they will be able to purchase jerseys. After subtracting the amount of money used to help the Hockey team purchase jerseys from the $2,000 left over, we had $1,950 left over, which we all decided to divide up between the Baseball team and the Softball team to help them with their tournaments. Each team would then receive $975 a piece. When dividing the budge between the different teams, the teams’ rankings and pay-to-play status did not play a part. I believe that our group did a great job trying to divide our budget amongst the different teams and I know we were all satisfied with the decisions we had without having to cut any teams.
