The Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association and Kenwood Neighborhood Organization, in partnership with administrators and the booster club from North Community High School, has raised over $50,000 for track equipment for the North High Polars track team. The generous gifts from neighborhood organizations and individual contributors has surpassed the $43,000 initially needed to purchase the equipment. The money will be used to pay for hurdles, pole vault equipment, starting blocks, and a new starting system. “This is such a huge blessing,” said North High Principal Mauri Fristleben, “What a gift.” The fundraising began in October 2021 with hopes that the money would be raised and the equipment purchased by the 2022 Spring track season. Fundraising organizers and donors are looking forward to cheering on the Polars this upcoming season.
Donations to the booster club are still welcome. If you wish to contribute, please send a check payable to the North High Booster Club and mail it to:
