Budget Allocation- Erin Scott, Liz Herbst, Lindsey Landversicht, Josh Kovacs

The first thing we did when planning the budget was add up the necessary costs and the total spending budget. We decided to have the four largest teams fundraise so we could maximize our budget. Below is our our total budget.

$120,000 - Budget
    20,000 - Donation

      4,500 - Football Fundraiser

      3,600 - Men's/Women's Swimming

      3,900 - Women's Track and Field

      3,300 - Men's Track and Field

 $155,300-Total Budget

After paying for the necessities, we were left with $12,950 left to spend. We decided to purchase new jerseys, suits, and some equipment. Below is our discretionary purchases.

$1,200 - Men's Soccer new jerseys

  1,200 - Women's Soccer new jerseys

  1,800 - Men's/Women's Swimming new suits

  2,000 - Hockey Jerseys

  1,200 - Volleyball Jerseys

     200 - W Track Shot Puts

     300 - W Track Discus

     200 - M Track Shot Puts

     300 - M Track Discus

$8,400

After those purchases, we were left with $4,550 in the budget. We decided to charge football a small fee and purchase them new helmets.

$6,000 - New Helmets

 (4,550) - Remaining Budget

$1,450 Needed 

$1450/ 75(Players)= $19.33 Fee Per Player

We justified having the football players pay a small fee because they were the most expensive team and we felt that new helmets would be a good purchase to ensure the safety of the players. We believed that purchasing all the jerseys, helmets, and some equipment for track was pretty fair. All the teams that needed new jerseys received them all at the same time so that there was not favoritism towards one sport. With the next year's budget, we planned on resurfacing the court for one or possibly both basketball teams depending on the budget. We did not really consider the team's rank or number of athletes while splitting the budget. We did use number of athletes to decide who would fundraise. This maximized the budget and helped those teams as well as the athletic program as a whole.
