Proper Nutrition for the Lafollette football team

Hi, my name is Jake Olson, and I am fundraising for the Lafollette High School football team. As the Strength and Conditioning Coach at Lafollette, I have worked with these athletes week in and week out. For those who don't know, Lafollette is a large inter-city high school in Madison, Wisconsin, Made up of largely working-class families. Many athletes experience food insecurity and do not have the means to fuel themselves before and after practice properly.

Some athletes have told me that after a long practice, they have not eaten all day. Despite the lack of food for many of these kids, the effort and output they give are nothing short of incredible. With this fundraiser, I hope to provide the athlete's apples before every practice to fuel their practice and a protein supplement afterward to support recovery.

From attending Lafollette and being in the football program for four years, I know what a difference not only nutrition but sustenance can make on the field and in the classroom. Please feel free to make a donation of any size, and no amount is too small. The communities support will mean everything to the team. Go, Lancers.
