This fall, the Ray-Pec Athletic Booster Club paid nearly $20,000 in requests from Ray-Pec High School coaches and sponsors. More disbursements are planned.
The Athletic Booster Club is an organization of volunteers who raise money to help pay for expenses beyond the regular district budget. Booster Club volunteers worked in the concession stands at more than 60 sporting events this fall. The proceeds from the concession stands provided funds for the club.
Last April, the Booster Club Board approved a preliminary list of requests totaling more than $66,000. Close to one-third of the requests have been funded to date.
