Fundraising to Help Athletics

  • Concession Stand – A fun way to help and meet new people. Work an event or help shop. The 4-5 home football games represent over 50% of our concession stand revenue. Organizing help needed for Fall (football and non-football games) and Spring games (mostly LAX). Game day help needed all year. Need a parent for each sport i.e. (i.e. Girls LAX , Boys LAX, Field Hockey) to create a Sign Up Genius and help others who may not have run the concession stand before. (Coming Spring 2023: Concession Stand Video Tutorial !) Someone to get supplies- An occasional Sam’s Club run! Raises approx. $10,000 a year

  • Donations– Direct donations are truly appreciated. Raises approx. $8,000-$15,000 a year

  • Mulch Sale– Held in March/April of each year. The biggest fundraiser of the year doesn’t run without lots of support. Needs organizing help, pre-sale help, day of help and spreading day help. Raises approx.. $25,000-$35,000 a year

  • Rockville Reward Card Coordinator – This is an easy to administer fundraiser that needs Fall and Winter help. Most work is done in August and October. Help make the schedule, help coaches promote the program, handout cards and then collect the cards/cash in October.

  • Sponsorship and Restaurant Nights – Recruit new and existing corporate and family sponsors. About 10-20 hours in August - September and some follow up after. These are usually 2 positions: Banners and Dine out night. Raises approx. $7,000 a year

  • Scholarship – The booster club gives away scholarships in May of each year. Committee needed to review application and interview applicants.

 Officer Positions

  • President – Admittedly not the best job but rewarding nonetheless. The booster club has a a great framework and good core of volunteers so this job is good for someone who is organized, good at recruiting others to help and not afraid to jump in when something needs to be done.

  • Vice President – Want to help keep events and activities organized but don’t have time to be at a lot of things? We have two positions. You’re able to pick the kind of things you want to help with.

  • Secretary – Great job for those who are organized, like to see how the group runs and want to contribute as you have time.

  • Treasurer – Great way to help the organization run without needing to be at every event. Quickbooks knowledge helpful but not required.
