Lakeland School Corporation is proud to announce that Pick and Pack Travel, a locally owned business founded by Lakeland graduate Beth Bateman, will once again sponsor free admission for all Lakeland students to every home (regular season) sporting event during the 2025β2026 school year. This marks the second consecutive year that Pick and Pack Travel has partnered with Lakeland Athletics to make this opportunity a reality!
Through this sponsorship, students of all grade levels can cheer on their peers, build school spirit, and create lasting memoriesβwithout the barrier of admission costs.
βWe are extremely grateful to Pick and Pack Travel for continuing this partnership,β said Katie Levitz, Public Relations & Marketing Specialist at Lakeland School Corporation. βTheir commitment to our students goes beyond athletics; itβs about fostering community, pride, and connection. Having our stands filled with students makes a real difference.β
Last yearβs sponsorship had a tremendous impact, increasing student attendance and energy at home events. With Pick and Pack Travelβs continued support, Lakeland looks forward to another year of strong student involvement and spirited competition.
βAs a Laker graduate, itβs especially meaningful to give back and support the next generation. We are honored to help create an atmosphere where every student can share in the excitement of being a Laker,β said Bateman.
Lakeland invites the community to join in celebrating this partnership and encourages all students to take advantage of the opportunity to support their classmates throughout the school year!
