The Impact of Your Donation
The Churchill Booster Club was established to support all school recognized sports teams and the athletic program at Winston Churchill High School. Our Booster Club has three primary goals: raise funds to assist the Athletic Department afford the equipment and facilities needed for a safe and competitive athletics program, support school spirit and encourage good sportsmanship among our athletes, coaches, and fans. We raise these funds through membership donations and corporate sponsorships and other fundraising initiatives like our School Store and Concessions as well as events like our annual Bulldog Bash and auction (formerly called the Booster Club Gala).
We are a service and support organization run entirely by volunteers, and we work closely with WCHS and its Athletic Department. Parents of all Churchill students are strongly encouraged to join the Booster Club and take part in the effort to provide all involved in Churchill athletics the support needed to be the best that they can be!
The Booster Club also depends on the generosity of our Corporate Sponsors who support Churchill Athletics through their sponsorship donations. Our sponsors are recognized with either a customized banner hung in our stadium or with their logo on one of six large glass panes in our main gymnasium. We also promote our sponsors on our website, in our monthly e-newsletter, and on our HD stadium and gymnasium scoreboards, as well as by encouraging our teams and community to patronize these loyal businesses.
The WCHS Booster Club is proud of its popular gameday concessions, first-class school store (online, in-school, and at select games), vibrant school spirit activities, in addition to its annual investments in equipment, facilities, field/court improvements and maintenance in support of Churchill students, coaches, and the Athletic Department.
