Team Lehigh will soon be pulling a 175,000-pound FedEx plane ✈! The Plane Pull is one of two of our major fundraisers with all funds raised used to support year-round sports training and competitions. Team Lehigh provides training in 10 different sports with no cost to the athletes. Funds raised will support transportation costs, uniforms, venue rents etc.

On October 11th, teams will compete to see which team is quickest to pull a FedEx Airbus 300 airplane! Team Lehigh had a strong finish last year.
