Martin, Tenn.–Families, friends and community supporters came out on a hot summer night to support Charger fall sports and fundraise for school supplies at the Pep and Picnic in Martin’s Virginia Weldon Park on Thursday evening.
While members of the Charger Foundation accepted donations to reach their $15,000 goal and cover the purchase of school supplies for Martin schools, the City of Martin provided free hamburgers and hot dogs. Martin Middle School and Westview Booster Clubs sold spirit wear and memberships. The Blue Swing sold shaved ice with a portion of the sales going towards the school supply initiative.
To fulfill the “pep” element of the evening, Westview coaches introduced their football, volleyball, cheer, girls’ soccer, cross country and golf teams.
