Summary
The Beaver Island Sports Boosters appealed for money, volunteers, ideas, and attendance to support school athletics. Because teams and visiting opponents travel by boat or air, the group paid transportation, meals, drivers, and a bleacher fund. The August issue says $4,500 had been raised but the bleacher fund remained $3,000 short.
Evidence limits
The appeal records the stated need and planned fundraisers, not the final amount raised or completed bleacher project.
