Dear Friends and Family, Thank you for supporting the Lakeridge High School Football Program. Running a competitive high school football team requires far more than just showing up on game day. While our district provides limited basic support, nearly all other costs from equipment and uniforms to team meals, travel, and film... fall directly on our program. That’s why fundraisers like this are essential. Every dollar you donate goes directly to the program, with no fees taken out, thanks to our partnership with Zeffy. Your gift is 100% tax-deductible. On behalf of our coaching staff, families, and players—thank you for investing in our team. Your support helps us build something special at Lakeridge. To help build a picture of what it costs to run a program, please see the detailed list below: Go Pacers! <div>Lakeridge Football Annual Fundraising Needs: 1.
