Booster Clubs (fair or not)

• Belly35

  

  Most high school schools have a Major Booster Club Organization. This organization provides additional fund to the sports teams and band operation. Generally each team (example Girls Tennis) provides their fund raiser to generate money. This money is in returned given to the Booster Club for safe keeping and accounting. All money is then places into a one account and controlled by Booster Board members.
  When my daughter was in high school I did not like this idea of one major Booster Club controlling the Girls Tennis and Basketball Teams funds. It seemed that the football, basketball and band took the majority of the funds with the other teams will little control of the funds they had acquired. I and a few parents started a Girls Tennis and Girls Basketball Club of our own bypassing the Booster Club. We open an account and provide documentation of the money and developed board members all under the school guideline present to the Booster Club regulation.
  
  Later we where forced to close the checking account and give the money to the Booster Club but keep our own accounting records and spending of the fund as we felt was needed. The problem with this was that the funds were not available quickly and a time delay caused problems in scheduling to purchase anything without long term planning.
  
  Note: Within a two year period both Tennis and Basketball Teams had more money available than what was given to them by the Booster Club in the past 8 years.
  
  Question: How is your high school Booster Club set up?
  Is it one big Major Booster Club or are there Sub-divided Clubs per sport team? </SPAN>

  Question: Big school Div II or Div I? Seems the bigger the school the one Booster Clubs prevails.

  Does Rotary Clubs (or whoever it is) accept $$ for parking at other schools? Never understood how MU seems the only to do this, at least the events I attend every school year.

  At the high school that my children attended, and participated in a variety of sports, each sport had their own booster group that did fundraising and kept individual accounts. There is an overall umbrella booster group that kept seperate books for the fundraising events that they did...and those benefited all of the sports as well.
  
  Large, D1 school.

  However your school runs their booster clubs, please appreciate those who run them. I was secretary for 10 years and parents seem to forget officers are not paid and do 90% of the work. And of course I will favor the sports my children participate in, that's why I do it. If you want your child's sport to get a fair share, get your asses in there and do your fair share of the work.
  
  That's all.
