From the Orcas Island Booster Club
The Orcas Island Booster Club invites you to help us “Eat Away” at our Fall Sports Fund Raising goal.
If you are looking to fill up this weekend on good food while at the same time supporting local student athletes, the OIBC has you covered. And this weekend every calorie you consume could mean 4 times the money to support the OIBC.
Join us Saturday at the Library Fair for Burgers, Dogs and Ice Cold Drinks (Thanks to the Lower Tavern!) and when you’re done with lunch, head over to Island Market for a huge selection of fresh baked goodies at the OIBC Bake Sale.
Thanks to an amazing donor who has kicked off our fall fundraising with a $10,000 matching challenge, every $1 given in support of the OIBC is immediately turned into $2. And thanks to a recent pledge from Island Market, the first $500 earned at this weekend’s bake sale will also be matched – meaning that every $1 turns into $4! Thanks Island Market!
Thanks to the efforts of our Fall Sports Coaches and Teams, we have already raised over $2500 towards our goal and are hoping to blow past the top by the start of the season. With your help we can make it happen!

The Orcas Island Education Foundation wants all you cookie-eating, hamburger-loving, sports fans to come out and support the Boosters this weekend. The OIEF Board will be helping fortify the baked goodies at Island Market. And we have some mighty fine bakers on the Board! So, come support the Boosters, buy a brownie, buy a burger, and help them match that $10,000!
