Investing in the Future of Pintos

Proceeds from the annual event are vital for the MESD Athletic Department. These funds typically bridge the gap for essential costs, including:

• New uniforms and safety equipment.
• Travel expenses for away games and state tournaments.
• Maintenance for multi-sport facilities.

“This fundraiser is about more than just prizes; it’s about providing our student-athletes with the resources they need to compete and succeed,” the department noted.
