I would like to know just how much booster clubs out there raise in a year, on average. Please throw in any other interesting or innovative things that your boosters do to support your football programs.

Raceland's booster club sells dvd's of the games, sells t-shirts prior to the season, program ads, donations, cow patty bingo, season highlight video, food/concessions for the pre-season games and gatorade sales.

At Ludlow there is a golf outing every year where all the money goes to the football program, but it isn't ran by the boosters. The advertising for it will be coming soon to the advertising forum on BGP.

The better the program the more increase in funds... I would guess it is all over the board.

Harlan County had a pig roast last summer and it seemed to be pretty popular! A lot of people worked hard to get it done though.

Bingo at CCH brings in high five figures/low six figures.

I have heard at Elder the process is they send out a mass email asking for a small token. It's a very quick way to generate some huge amounts of cash considering the alumni it holds.

In Oldham County, the Booster clubs support ALL sports. They keep the gate from the revenue sports and then use that money to help the non-revenue sports. As most schools booster clubs are or were for Football only, in the OC it is not so. Football can get some money from the booster club but not near what they generate. They generate a ton of money through advertising sales, concessions and gate.

And I think they make a ton of money with their sports stag and their Dad's Club meetings on Tuesday nights.

Add in $10k+ in split the pot money.

I highly recommend chicken quarters or beef brisket for future roasts. Pork is just too expensive. OINK!:thumb:

All these methods of raising cash are great but a larger problem seems to be getting parents to step up an help with volunteer assignments. I'd like to know if any schools make this a mandatory requirement

Getting the volunteer help can be a problem, but I know at Newport they get a good turnout from the same people. It would be nice to have some other parents pitch in - but I don't think you can make them. They have to want to be there for their kids and all of the others kids too.

 

Kudos to all of the volunteers out there at all schools! You are very appreciated.

Boyle Co. has done bingo for years but it doesn't make much money anymore. It used to be a cash cow for years. Last couple of years they offer premium Quarterback Club memberships that include premium parking among other things I like the parking to be honest. Golf Outing, Hold 'em poker tourn, some other things as well

Isn't that something, Elder has a TNDC night as well. What are the odds of that.
