The Orcas Island Booster Club is “teeing up” our Spring Fundraising Drive to support all athletic programs at our school. We are committed to the success of our students through participation in a strong, scholastic, athletic program.
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.
The Boosters are seeking community partners in working to solve the current funding challenges faced by our school district. Precipitated by statewide cuts in funding and the global economic downturn, the Orcas Island School District has cut funding for all school athletic programs.
Booster Club Goals
- To maintain spring sports programs including softball, baseball, and golf we need to raise $30,000.
- Establish a strong athletic endowment fund.
- Work with the community, school district and Orcas Island Park and Recreation to create a long-term, sustainable solution.
We Need Your Help
- Become a member of the Booster Club and help us work to maintain strong athletic programs at our school.
