How to Make 5k in 5 Days with Your Team

Every athletic program could think of dozens of ways to spend available cash. But how much does your team need for that wishlist item that seems out of reach? For example: does your baseball team travel to a tournament every year, but coach & player families have to come out of pocket for travel costs? What if a quick, simple, effective fundraiser could cover those expenses for the entire team? Talk about motivation!
