1 - Booster Club Membership

BE A PART OF THE TEAM BEHIND THE TEAM!

Thank you to all our families who have joined the Booster Club already this year and who have stepped up to volunteer to drive JV carpools, work concessions, and attend meets, games, and matches wearing your Bulldog spirit wear (available through our School Store online and in person at the School Store on Tuesdays & Thursdays during lunch 11 am - noon). You are what makes Churchill athletics amazing. If you haven't joined yet this school year, it's not too late!

Why join? Whether your student is an athlete, a fan, or participates in PE, the Booster Club fundraises through annual membership donations to provide important resources and support to help ensure a safe, competitive, spirited, and fun experience for all!

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:

Boys JV Soccer

Boys Varsity Soccer

Varsity Cheer

JV Cheer

Varsity Golf

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 Winter Team Reps. Email Claire or Aby if you are interested!**

Your annual membership in the Booster Club will provide our student athletes and teams with critical resources.

7 - Concessions News

We greatly appreciate everyone who volunteered to help staff the outdoor concession stand this fall for girls and boys JV and Varsity soccer games and JV and Varsity football games. The Concession Stand is an important amenity for our fans and visitors, and we appreciate all the volunteers who helped ensure the stand was open and staffed for every game in the stadium this fall.

We need 10X the number of volunteers to help run the concession stand at varsity football games due to the crowds that come to these games. We typically have 4-5 regular season home football games plus 1-2 home playoff games depending on how the team in seeded. This year we will have run concessions for EIGHT home football games, including 4 playoff games 4 straight weeks in a row with the last one on Black Friday after Thanksgiving! The crew of volunteers who regularly work at every home football game was just amazing this year. We have had lot of fun getting to know each other while furiously serving pizza, burgers, hot dogs, popcorn, nachos, Cup of Noodle, hot cocoa, and more to the long lines of hungry fans. Please be sure to thank our volunteers in concessions when you attend a game. We all really appreciate hearing that we helped make your gameday experience better and it’s our way of supporting our Bulldog teams!

We’ll be moving indoors for the winter after Friday’s football game and will be open during girls and boys basketball games and some select wrestling meets. Even if you do not have an athlete on any of these teams, if you’d like to volunteer in the concession stand, please reach out to Bridget Calhoun or Jake Lynn. We’re always looking for parents who would like to get involved in concessions or any other aspect of the Booster Club!
