The Athletic Booster Club is an amazing Not For Profit organization that has been a 501(c)(3) since 1994. In our 20+ year history the Booster Club has provided items to the teams and school such as uniforms, team equipment, sound systems, weight room equipment, scoring tables, concession equipment, scoreboard reconditioning, track clocks, starting blocks, field drags, signs, fencing and so much more. Most of the time our work goes unrecognized and we tend to be unseen but we are always there, in the background, making things happens for our athletes and coaches.
