Venice High School Varsity Cross Country Fundraiser

Venice Varsity Cross Country Fundraiser

This fundraiser will help our Venice Cross Country team purchase needed equipment such as: foam rollers, resistance bands, jump ropes, massaging devices, first aid, etc. Money raised may also be used for team gear such as: t-shirts, sweats, sweaters, gym bags. It may also help pay for invitationals which are cross country meets that are separate from our regular-season league meets. Another possible use for these raised funds may be to help pay for the cost of a tentative summer training/ team bonding trip which will focus on the top varsity runners.
