Boosters fundraise for spring sports


February 21, 2012 · Updated 10:42 AM 

The Orcas Island Booster Club is “teeing up”  its spring fundraising drive to support all athletic programs at our school.

“Our winter fund drive was a success. We are grateful for the widespread community support and a matching grant from the Orcas Island Education Foundation, as we were able to raise over $12,000 to fund the basketball programs. Now it’s time to ‘pitch in’ for spring sports,” said Booster vice president Kevin O’Brien.

Booster Club Goals

• To maintain spring sports programs (softball, baseball, and golf) they need to raise $30,000.

•  Establish a strong athletic endowment fund.

• Work with the community, school and Orcas Park and Recreation to create a long-term solution.

How to help

• Become a member of the Booster Club

• Donations may be accepted at Key Bank or to the Orcas Island Community Foundation “Booster Fund” by check or online at oicf.us  (specify “Booster Fund”).
