What is the Booster Club? The Booster Club is a fundraising organization of Bulldog families that works with the Athletic Department to ensure that our athletes have the necessary equipment and facilities to compete safely and at the highest possible level each year. The county provides Churchill with only a fraction of what it takes to support our sports teams. In a typical year, the athletics budget spent per athlete (per roster spot) at Churchill is around $220, yet the County’s contribution is less than $80. The Booster Club plays a critical role in providing supplemental resources to help offset this shortfall.
100% Booster Membership Teams (to date):
Boys JV Soccer
Boys Varsity Soccer
Varsity Cheer
JV Cheer
Varsity Golf
Girls Varsity Basketball
Can’t remember if you joined this year? Several more teams are getting close to 100% membership! Will it be your team? If you can’t remember if you joined the Booster Club already this year, ask your Team Booster Rep or send an email to our Membership Chairs, Claire Drummond and Aby Filomeno, and they will check for you! Help your team earn 10% of its membership dollars and $300 for achieving 100% team membership!
**We are also looking for Bulldog parents interested in getting more involved in the Booster Club. We will have several open Board positions for the 2024-25 school year. Email Bridget Calhoun for more information and/or come to our April 3rd Booster Club Meeting!**
President: This role is great for someone who is comfortable leading a team of energetic volunteers to raise funding through Memberships, Concessions, the School Store, and Sponsorships. The President assists the Board members leading the committees, and, when needed is willing to step in and volunteer in the concession stand, encourage Booster Club membership at Meet the Teams Nights, or answer questions from local businesses about the value of sponsoring the Booster Club, for example. With such a great team of returning Board members and other seasoned volunteers likely to take on the additional open positions below, the President will be well-supported by knowledgeable and helpful volunteers as well as a top-notch Athletic Specialist. Moreover, the outgoing President will be available to help with the transition and whatever other needs many arise.
Concessions Committee Co-Chairs: We are looking for several people who are willing to manage the indoor and outdoor concession stands as a team so the time and responsibilities are manageable for all. Tasks include purchasing and stocking the stands with inventory and supplies, opening and closing the stand on game days, and coordinating and training volunteers from the relevant teams to staff the stand during games with the help of the team reps. The Concessions Committee will be well supported by organized systems and manuals created in the past 2 years plus the availability of several past Concessions Managers willing to help with the transition. This is a fun way to volunteer and be at the heart of the action!
Sponsors/Advertising Committee Chair: This person will be given a list of current Booster Club sponsors along with marketing materials, draft emails, and everything needed to request renewals of current sponsors as well as solicit new local businesses. This position is very manageable time-wise with its most active period in the late summer/early fall and then mostly just responding to inquiries and checking in with sponsors throughout the rest of the year. It's a great position for someone who can connect with local businesses and share a valuable advertising opportunity to support Churchill athletics.
Webmaster/Communications Committee Co-Chair: This person will be stepping into a well-oiled machine created by our current webmaster who will be available to train and support his successor. General tasks involve updating the Squarespace-hosted website as needed and managing membership, sponsorship, and school store sales data that comes through the website. Ideally this is a role for someone comfortable with Excel and basic website editing on a user-friendly format.
