needs fundraised for:

•
•
Rooms- depending on how many athletic training students attending each year, we will need to
accommodate rooms for the trip.
Food- Enough money should be fundraised to help pay for the food on this trip.
Registration- Each year it is usually 80.00 for an Athletic Training Student to register for EATA.
Plane Ticket/Gas Money- Every year the location of EATA changes so we should fundraise for
whether we drive or fly to EATA.
*Reimbursement will only be given to sophomores IF enough money is raised. This reason is because
seniors and juniors are more educated on what athletic training is, and has the best chance to make
connections with ATC’s at the conference.
