As you know, athletics play a vital role in the development of our students; promoting teamwork, discipline, and school spirit. To continue supporting our growing programs, we are launching a fundraising initiative to purchase dedicated 15 passenger buses for athlete travel. These buses will provide safer, more reliable transportation for our teams. Adding 15 passenger buses will allow our teams to travel without the need of a commercial licensed driver or parent carpools.

We invite your family and your business to be a part of this important effort through one of the following giving opportunities:

Many may ask why there is a need to raise more money to support our athletic program. Our athletic association 100% financially supports the 34 teams offered by IWA. Last year the officials/referees cost us $36,000 and we are estimating that will increase to $45,000 this coming school year. In addition to covering that cost, our athletic association also pays for uniforms, equipment, and entrance fees for IWA’s 34 teams.

This is more than a fundraising campaign; it is an investment in the spirit and success of our student-athletes. As we move forward with the school year we are planning other activities that will also aid in this cause. We deeply appreciate your continued support and generosity.

Please deliver all donations to a committee member listed below. Any donation can be made via check made out for IWA.

To contribute or learn more about how your family or business can participate, please contact Jessica Brock at jessicabrock@iwacademy.com.

Let’s drive our athletes to success one mile at a time.
