Galway Athletic Booster Club

The Athletic Booster Club would like to share a major fundraiser that is currently happening. We would like all athletes to be active in selling regardless of what sport or season they participate in! Order forms and payment should be completed by 9/11 so that we have time to get our order finalized and over to the greenhouse. The mums will be delivered on 9/18, which is also the date of our next booster club meeting!

In addition, we are looking for volunteers for homecoming as well as for donations! The Athletic Booster Club needs to continue to replenish funds to be able to support ALL of our STUDENT ATHLETES!
