Couple scores free equipment for sports programs

As former educators, Mac Yocum and his wife, Julia Harmon-Yocum, know that schools need more revenue.

That’s why the Yocums are excited to be franchise owners with Sports Image – a company that provides free sports equipment for schools by building partnerships with local business to buy advertisement spots on the equipment, such as scoreboards and score tables.

Since becoming franchise owners in November, they’ve been able to give more than $100,000 in sports equipment to schools – including several locally – and several thousand more in cash.
