HAVE A GREAT SEASON & GO WARRIORS!

Now a little bit about us. The DHS Athletic Booster Club’s mission is to promote athletic success, spirit, sportsmanship and a commitment to excellence beyond the classroom. We strive to support programs and resources that enhance athletic programs, the student-athlete experience, and the athletic facilities at DHS. We work in collaboration with Nate Flannery, Athletic Director and Molly Tomlinson, Assistant Athletic Director to honor our commitments and make a difference each school year.

Membership is the largest and most important revenue stream for the booster club. It allows us to support our 775+ unique student-athletes across Deerfield’s 34 athletic teams. For this past school year, the booster club gave back $152,456 to the student-athletes by way of funding requests ($117,859), allocation of membership dues ($20,850), and collaborative fundraising ($13,748). Your student-athlete, in one way or another, has benefited from booster club contributions and our support of DHS Athletics. We hope you will consider getting involved and learning more about our not-for-profit, all volunteer organization.

This fall, there are 3 easy ways to make a big impact!

Aches & Pains? We can help! Whether it’s walking the dog or taking a bike ride, at Athletico we believe there is freedom from pain. Request a free assessment here with a movement expert from our partner, Athletico Physical Therapy. Free Assessments are available in-clinic or virtually through their Telehealth platform.

Have you heard? NorthShore University Health System is now Endeavor Health. As Illinois’ third largest health system, Endeavor Health delivers world-class care with empathy and compassion. At the Endeavor Health Orthopaedic & Spine Institute, our team of sports specialists includes primary care sports medicine, and pediatric orthopaedics and sports medicine surgeons - all of whom are fellowship - and specialty-trained.

These experts are dedicated to providing comprehensive sports medicine care for athletes of all ages, including pediatric sports injuries, as well as nonsports-related injuries and musculoskeletal care. Our primary care sports medicine team cares for medical issues affecting young athletes, such as concussions, sports physicals, injury prevention, counseling, nutritional concerns and overtraining. If treatment requires surgical care, pediatric and sports medicine surgeons treat injuries, including torn ligaments, tendons and fractures, using the latest minimally invasive techniques. This same team also covers our Orthopaedic & Spine Immediate Care sites, which means musculoskeletal experts are treating pediatric patients even in acute situations.

Your best health—and Warriors athletes’ best health—is our endeavor.

A new school year means new friends and new social circles. Before a get together, parents may ask other parents about food allergies, pets and whether an adult will be home. The same conversation can include questions on alcohol, marijuana and gun safety. CTAD's Aug/Sept newsletter has some suggestions from our local chapter of BeSmart on how to make that conversation a little easier.
