The athletic department has the opportunity to earn $10,000 from the website Yellow Pages. This website is similar to Yelp in that it contains reviews of local businesses and restaurants that are created by the community.

As a community member reviews restaurants they can earn points for RHS athletics and once a certain number of points are received YP will donate $10,000 to the athletics program. Oakmont High School has already completed this fundraiser and within a month they collected enough points and raised the $10,000.

“I have already done it a few times, and it only takes a few minutes,” varsity golf coach Cory Fukuman said.

Athletic director Emily Dodds has reached out to the community in hopes of getting enough reviews from the community to receive the money. Dodds placed signs around campus and emailed staff information regarding the recently started fundraiser.

Fukuman feels the the fundraiser will compensate for the lack in attendance to RHS athletic games.

“Our gate money has gone way down since moving into the CVC, so I think it is a great move in the right direction to help our athletic program survive financially,” Fukuman said.
