                TEAM FUNDRAISER
This season, we will once again be offering Mountainland Apples and Peaches for athletes to sell.  The proceeds of the fundraiser will go to offset athlete's costs for our California trip and/or other team costs.  

It is an early crop this year for the peaches and apples, so we will be starting this fundraiser NOW, rather than later in the season!  Your athlete should have an information/tracking sheet they got at practice.  However, here's the basics:

Peaches: 22 lb. box for $20 (athlete profits $5/box)
Order must be placed by Thursday, Sept 1st

Apples: 14 lb. box for $20 (athlete profits $5/box)
Order must be placed by Wednesday, Sept 14th
