RIDGEFIELD BOOSTERS

 

What is a Booster?  As defined by Wikipedia, “A booster club is an organization that is formed to support (e.g. coordinate events, raise money, etc.) an associated club, sports team, or organization. Booster clubs are popular in American schools at the high school and university level.”

 

What is The Ridgefield Boosters?  In short, Ridgefield Boosters is similar to The South Ridge PTA or Union Ridge PTO.  The Ridgefield Boosters is the Parent Organization for Ridgefield High School (RHS).

 

What do the Ridgefield Boosters do?   Our Mission.  To encourage, enhance and support Ridgefield High School in the areas of Academics, Activities and Athletics while promoting community involvement.  Working in partnership collaboration with the Ridgefield School District, RHS, Staff, Coaches and Advisors in providing financial assistance for items/opportunities not funded by our district or school.

 

How do we raise money for The Ridgefield Boosters?  The Ridgefield Boosters raises money through:  Membership, Concessions, Business Sponsorship, Personal Donations and Merchandise & Apparel.

 

What does my Booster Membership buy?  Most of it goes right back to your student!  A small percentage of your dues help finance our administrative and insurance coverage.  The majority of your membership dues goes right back to RHS by way of grants and items that are not and cannot be funded by the school(s).

 

What and Who do The Ridgefield Boosters Support?  We support more than athletics!  The Ridgefield Boosters is an organization that supports the “Triple A’s” – ACADEMICS, ACTIVITIES & ATHLETICS for Ridgefield High School.
