| Explanation | Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 - Other expenses include miscellaneous coaching expenses, upgrades for concussion resistant helmets, scholarships for 3 graduating Seniors, purchases of t-shirts and shorts for players, food/drinks for the players after games & scrimmages, the Gridiron Club also serves as the depository for all the parent payments for any monies collected for things like clothing purchases, coaches gifts and various other team related expenses. Essentially, we raise money to spend on the Mansfield High School football program, but we also collect funds from the parents and use those funds to pay for purchases (a booster club that has check-writing capabilities to pay bills as the come due). Besides the fundraising where we actually bring in money, the majority of our funds ae classified as "pass-through" funds where parents pay into the Gridiron so the Gridiron can accumulate the money and then write one check to a vendor to pay for products/services. This past year the team traveled to Temperance Michigan to play a game, visit another part of the country, tour college campuses (Michigan State, University of Michigan) visited Detroit's historic sites (Joe Louis Statue, riverwalk, Ford Museum) and attended a Michigan football game. | ExplanationTxt |
