Booster Club

A ''booster club'' is a group that is formed to raise money for a sports team, musical group or academic club through fundraising. They are especially popular at the high school level. These booster clubs are mostly run and organized by the parents of the students participating in these high school activities and by the fans and supporters of the activities. There are many fundraisers that are often used to support the booster club. These funds may be used to raise the money for new equipment, food & awards, locker decorating, summer camps and trip expenses to playoffs or competitions and performances. Booster club members should keep in mind that these events are for kids and it should be fun! By electing different board members each year,-your club should always have "New Blood" with fresh ideas.

The display above was from Eagles Tennis 2001. The photos are glued on to grocery store "Starbursts". The front of the star was neon orange, so the back was spray painted dark green around the edges. Use a scrapbook circle cutter or jumbo punch to cut the photographs. Make sure that the paint has cured or thoughally dried before writting the player's names. A big sharpie will write smoother on a completly dry surface.the Booster Club got permission from the school to place this Varsity display outside the Coach's room in the hall so all the students could see who made the team. Masking tape circles were used to apply finished stars to the wall.
