Booster Club

In 2021-2022, the Booster Club was able to provide close to $100,000 to support our Athletic programs, thanks to our members!

Here is how your investment in the Booster Club was used in 2021-2022:

• We honored our senior athletes by gifting them an individual poster for each sport they participated in during 2021-2022.
• We provided financial support to our teams that had to travel for State Tournament games.
• We continued our sports-specific clubs: Touchdown Club, Hoops Club, Home Run Club, and the Goal Club. These sports-specific clubs allow booster members to give money to a specific sport over and above their Booster Club membership. These monies are passed directly and entirely to the teams for enhanced equipment purchases or travel costs that parents would otherwise fund.

Major purchases:

• $75,000 to the Middle School Turf/Track project
• Volleyball Pole Systems for the MS
• Runway and Starting Blocks for Track & Field
• Fiber installation at Fullwood Field to provide streaming for sports
• Baseball Clubhouse renovation

The 2020-2021 school year was unlike any year we have experienced as we walked through the coronavirus pandemic. Thankfully our students were still able to participate in sports. The Booster Club worked side by side with the Athletic Department to help implement necessary covid protocols that ensured our athletes were able to compete. Even though we were not able to hold all the standard operations and fundraisers, we were still able to provide close to $45,000 in support of our Athletic Programs.

Here is how your investment in the Booster Club was used in 2020-2021:

• We live streamed all sports from middle school to Varsity so our fans could watch games they could not attend due to Covid-19 protocols; this included costs to add WIFI at Warner Park.
• We honored our senior athletes by gifting them an individual poster for each sport they participated in during 2020-2021.
• We continued our sports-specific clubs: Touchdown Club, Hoops Club, and Home Run Club, and added the Goal Club. These sports-specific clubs allow booster members to give money to a specific sport over and above their Booster Club membership. These monies are passed directly and entirely to the teams for enhanced equipment purchases or travel costs that parents would otherwise fund.

• Lacrosse Helmets for the Varsity and Middle School Teams
