Bare Essentials Sports Medicine NEVER Charges Athletes for taping or injury care at events. What this means is that BESM needs to raise funds or get supplies donated in order to not have to pass the expense onto athletes who otherwise may not be able to afford the added expense. We also understand events do not want to spend or cannot afford to spend the money on taping supplies, but taping takes any event to the highest level of care so we want to provide taping without passing that cost onto an event.
-
Many events cannot afford to spend money to travel the best medical staff into an event so we also try to fundraise or get sponsors to help reduce these costs.
-
BESM likes to give as many students and volunteers an opportunity to learn new skills with sports they often have little to no access to but with that comes expenses to feed, house and travel them.
-
BESM requires each staff, student and volunteer to go through a Federal Back Ground Check & Safe Sport Training, which we cover the costs of and do not pass along the cost to the event or our staff.
-
Lastly, we like to take care of our staff with nice apparel, and small perks like Starbucks Coffee and snacks at events, which you can help us with.
