The next Booster Club meeting is Monday, August 17th in the East LMC (2nd floor). Meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. Many new volunteers needed! Anyone interested in helping to support East athletics, please come to this meeting and see what you can do for the good of East athletics. We can use you for big and small jobs. Bring your ideas too! Hope to see many new faces at the 2009-2010 Booster Club kick-off meeting. If you can't be at this meeting, contact any of our current Booster Club Officers or Sports Reps to see how you can get involved.

AVAILABLE VOLUNTEER POSITIONS . . . President, Vice President, Secretary, special event workers, special committee workers, ideas people, and we also have various Sport Rep openings.

WHAT IT MEANS TO VOLUNTEER . . . We gather once a month with other great parents and East staff to BOOST all 22 team sports at East High. We also help with concession sales at games, do East clothing (spiritwear) sales and special events like the annual golf outing, the "East on Ice" celebration, and more. Its all fun and easy (no experience necessary), and its all to raise money and provide support to East athletics. Your donations of money and time are critical in helping to maintain and grow East athletic programs.

BOOSTER CLUB MEMBER ACCOMPLISHMENTS . . . Just from this year alone, we raised enough money to purchase new scoreboards for fieldhouse, a new ice machine for trainer's room, paid for coaches to attend coaching clinics, bought teams new uniforms, new warmups, all kinds of new basic game required equipment, including safety eguipment like helmets and mats, and more. To help get the word out about how friends and family can support East athletics, download and share our special brochure, called: Boost East High Athletics. Thanks for your support!

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! to the Madison East High School Purgolders Booster Club web site! The Booster Club is a group of parents, staff, alumni and friends of East High School that provide support ALL of our sports teams at East by working to raise money to purchase much needed supplies, equipment, uniforms, and/or capital items beyond what the district athletic budget can provide. Our mission is to enrich the East High School athletic community and the community at large by helping to provide financial support for East High School athletics. Each of the sports at East High School has an adult representative who meet with the Purgolder Booster Club Board on a monthly basis to serve as a liaison for that sport.

Money is raised through Booster Club memberships and other key fundraising activities, such as: selling local business ads, hosting an annual golf outing, concessions sales at games, spiritwear sales, and sales of specialty products or other special events. During each school year, the Booster Club provides thousands of dollars support directly to East athletics raised through your donations and hard work on fundraising activities. In addition to your financial support, please feel free to contact any Booster Club officer or rep listed on the Officers and Sports Reps contact page with more ideas on how you could to contribute or volunteer your time. Please show East athletics your support today by becoming a member of the Madison East High School Purgolder Booster Club. Download the membership brochure linked above, complete and return it along with your contribution. In addition to your financial support, please also remember to help by volunteering your time and energy to Madison East High School athletics. Thank you! Go Purgolders!!!
