Paying For A New Pit!

Unread postby Sean/vaulter/naeS » Tue Mar 11, 2008 9:31 pm

Ok, so our pit has been illegal for the past three years because of its dimensions. This year we have a new track so all of our meets will be held at our school instead of the local track. The problem is that we are not allowed to vault at meets until the pit is legal. We need roughly $17000, and we have a lot but we need a lot more. I was wondering if anyone knows about getting the pit sponsored by someone or even some money making fund raisers? We would really appreciate it!

Talk to local businesses in your town. You could look into putting their banner on the side of it or something.

Boy thats alot of money for a new pit. The Gill 663 is not that expensive. Contact me about a price (way below 17k) with a set of standards from Sportsfab that are of my design too.

I think you may be over paying at 17k. I think I got a quote from UCS for there 1800 for less than 12K.
