Back on Track, brought to you by CatchItKansas.com, KWCH12, and KSCW is a fundraising program designed for high schools to generate money and improve athletic facilities, or to purchase uniforms and supplies for your sports programs. Participating high schools keep 100 percent of the money raised through the giveaway.
Why are the sponsors offering Back on Track?
Athletic facilities need upkeep and improvement and it is our way to give back to the community. It is also our way to say thanks to the schools for supporting CatchItKansas.com by submitting scores and stats.
How does the program work?
Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2500) - that's what one Wichita softball team raised for new uniforms and equipment in three weeks with the Back on Track fundraiser.
Five thousand dollars ($5000) - that's what one Wichita school raised in one month with one mailing to parents through the Back on Track program.
New lights for its football field - that's what one small Kansas high school installed with the funds from the Back on Track program.
New track equipment including pole vaults - that's what one western Kansas high school purchased with the money it raised through the Back on Track program.
When does Back on Track begin? When does it end?
There will be three prize packages given away at the end of each sports season in late November 2011, Mid-March 2012 & late May 2012.
