2nd Annual Holton High School Throw-A-Thon

There are several options available to become a donor to our throwing program.

  1. Sponsor an athlete of your choosing and their events
  2. Sponsor the total footage thrown by the entire team
  3. Make a flat rate donation of your choosing

The following examples will give an indication how the event is conducted. It is ran much like a regular track meet in how the athletes will attempt their throws trying to achieve the best performance they can with the three attempts they are given. The best of the three attempt will be the distance used to calculate the donation the sponsor will be responsible for.

Athlete Event 1st Attempt 2nd Attempt 3rd Attempt Best Attempt
Ashcraft, Darcee Shot Put 35-3 35-8 36-2 36-2
Ashcraft, Darcee Discus 115-6 118-4 122-8 122-8


Event Best Attempt Amount Pledged Total Pledge
Shot Put 36-2 $.50 $18.10
Discus 122-8 $.50 $61.40
Total Contribution 159 $.50 $79.50


To sponsor the footage thrown by the entire team, you decide as a donor, how much you are comfortable with sponsoring for the team as a whole. Last year the team threw for a combined 2500 feet. We had several sponsors pledge $.01 per foot that resulted in a $25.00 donation.

Lastly, a flat rate donation is always welcomed if you prefer to donate in this manner. The throwing team is very appreciative of your continued support of the throwing sports at Holton High School, and we thank you for everything you do for us!
