FAQ
FAQ
What’s the purpose of a Booster Club?
The purpose of the Boosters is to raise funds to help support ALL of the sports teams within our school.
How does the Booster Club raise money?
Currently, we run concessions & sell Spirit Wear at all home Football & Basketball games, we hold Spirit Wear Pop-Up Stores Hours and host fundraisers throughout the school year.
Where does the money raised go?
First and foremost, we budget the funds to supply the Senior Athlete Awards and if feasible, present $100 Scholarships to the top Senior Athletes in each shop, at the end of the school year. In years when there are available funds, we have presented a check to the athletic department to help fund teams’ “wish list” items that can’t be funded through the Athletic Departments budget. Basically, all funds raised are given to our athletes in one form or another.
How can you get involved?
First, sign up for our email list so we can contact you with reminders of our upcoming meetings & fundraisers as well as reach out when we are looking for volunteers.
Second, attend our monthly meetings (2nd Tue of each month at 6:30 pm)!
Each month we’ll review the previous month’s happenings, then discuss all the up and coming events as well as look for input of new & exciting ideas to implement.
The more parents we can have get involved by getting on the email list, attending the meetings and/or volunteering to help out at events, the more $$ we’ll be able to raise and give to our athletic programs.
