On behalf of the Perkins - Tryon Schools we want to thank you for the service you help to provide our students.  Booster clubs are a very important part of the athletic and extracurricular programs at our school.  Booster clubs also play an important role in supporting, encouraging, and advancing these programs.  Due to the fact that more and more schools are faced with budgetary shortfalls, there is an ever-increasing need to turn to fundraising to adequately fund schools' programs. Even the ability to perform the basic duties of these programs, such as providing proper equipment, insurance, and/or proper transportation, are often contingent on fundraising.

To deal with these new realities, schools need to adjust or all out change skills and relationships, increase their level of interaction and communication, as well as accept the non-traditional role as overseer of school booster clubs. Booster clubs play a vital role in high school sports, and club members need to know that. They also need to know that they are supporters of the program, not decision-makers, and all decisions must follow the schools policies.
