ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
The FNBO Challenge was created to increase attendance at athletic events, raise funds, and enhance awareness of the local Sports Booster Club organizations. Local businesses, organizations, and individuals are “challenged” to help raise funds that will help support school athletic programs with net proceeds being distributed to the school’s booster clubs.
Combined, the FNBO Challenge has raised over $2.6 million dollars for their school’s athletic programs.
By accepting this year’s Challenge, you will be helping provide a future for our children’s athletic programs. What’s good for the kids is great for the community!
