Though the baseball game itself is free, getting there is not. We will need to take BART from downtown Berkeley to the Coliseum and back (in staggered waves of students, by hive). We’d also like to make BHS U9 t-shirts so that all the students can wear them the day of the game. The student fare for BART is just under $3.00 per rider and we’ll also be covering the fares of 90 adults. All told, we need about $3,000 for transportation. In addition, we would need $7,200 for all of the t-shirts. In all, we need a little over $10,000 to fund this trip. </span></p>
