Sparta Sports Host Successful Car Washes

 By. Noelle Hanek

Throughout the months of September and October, Sparta fall sports teams have hosted many fundraisers to raise money. Due to the unpredictable Covid-19, many of these fundraisers have been postponed numerous times, a great frustration for many student athletes. However, once the two week shut down of school activities came to an end, and fall sports resumed, a multitude of fundraisers were underway. 

For instance, last weekend was a huge success for fundraising. On Saturday, the girl’s tennis team ran a car wash from 10am- 2pm in front of the Mohawk Ave School. At first, business started off slow, but by the time noon came around, long lines of cars had formed! In the end, the hard work of both the players and parent volunteers paid off; the team managed to raise $769 dollars, which is intended to be put towards scholarship money for the seniors. The girls soccer team hosted another successful car wash the following day. 

Regardless of the unexpected setbacks, many teams have managed to successfully raise revenue. The car washes were originally intended for the summer, yet teams took advantage of the nice weather to get outside, wash plenty of cars, and benefit their team all at once! Keep an eye out for upcoming Sparta School fundraisers to support teams, programs, and more!
