Booster Club President Report

Hello Huntingtown Hurricane Families & Sports Fans!

Welcome to the Athletic Booster Club and its program of support for all of the exciting and competitive athletic activities and games at Huntingtown High School!  We are a school and community rich in both academic and athletic traditions, with a high level of school spirit and involvement.

The Athletic Boosters would like to extend a welcome to all HHS students, parents and families. The HHS Athletic Booster Club is a volunteer group of interested adults, which supports all athletic related activities within an environment that promotes leadership, team spirit, and sportsmanship, both in the classroom and at athletic events. We do this by providing financial support to athletic teams that cannot be provided through normal school channels. Support is provided to the school for all eligible groups on an equitable basis, including all girls and boys teams, J.V. and Varsity alike.

Freshman & Sophomore Families:  We look forward to new members and new projects this year.  We will be asking for your help and support throughout the year during our fundraising activities, but a significant portion of our funds comes from Booster Club memberships.  The more funds generated through memberships the less additional fundraising is needed.  Our goal is 100% membership and representation of all our athletes and their families in the Booster Club. Consider joining and supporting your children and all our athletes at HHS as a Booster Club member.  A family membership is only $10.  Individual, family, lifetime and corporate memberships are available. 

Parental involvement is the key to establishing a tradition of successful support provided by the Booster Club. In the past three years with strong parent and community support, we have been fortunate to assist Huntingtown High School physically and financially, contributing around $90,000, and we thank all those individuals who have donated their time, talent, and resources for our school. 

The HHS Booster Club is a good way to get involved with the HHS students, staff, and parents. Boosters are fun raisers, not just fund raisers. Our "fun" comes from the boosting and support and social activities.

We hope you will become an active member of the Boosters and will share in the support we offer to the athletics program at Huntingtown High School.  Become a member, and you will be in the "loop" of what is going on! Check out our web page, get on our e-mail list for updates, be part of the action by volunteering to help out. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what you will learn about the goings-on at HHS.

If your child is involved in athletics, you should become a member!

Our meetings are the second Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at Huntingtown High School Media Center and last around one hour.  If you wish further information or applications, visit our web site at www.hhsboosterclub.com.

Everyone can be a Booster.  Booster is simply an enthusiastic supporter of HHS sports programs.  This support can be manifested in many ways -- by becoming a member of our Booster committees, by volunteering to work during sports events, by being a team parent or representative, through financial support, or by simply attending sports events to support our athletes. Please consider volunteering for any of our Booster Club activities, for concessions staff, for Fund raising activities throughout the year. Thank you for your participation.
