Title: Does you DIII school have an athletic booster club
Post by: BSCpanthers on December 19, 2020, 12:16:28 AM
My son is a freshman at Birmingham Southern, I was trying to find info on a booster club and have come up empty.  Do any of your schools have booster clubs or another form of a fund raising arm lead by someone other then the school???

A large number do, but I also think that at the collegiate level, those boosters are specific to a program at a school as well as the entire athletic department.

There is a 'DONATE' button at the bottom of their athletics website that takes you here where you can donate to the B Fund or a specific team - https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/4501/donations/new/

I've done that, and every time they have fundraisers, I've donated.  I think I was more looking for an organization that does outside fundraising to help support, in addition to, what fundraising the school does.  I'm new at this parent of a college athlete thing, and just didn't know if other schools had something else.  Not sure if I'm even asking the right questions.  Thanks for the input.
