The ERA Booster Club exists to support all ERA letter-eligible athletics, clubs, and activities by providing financial support, volunteer coordination, and community engagement that help students thrive.

Unlike many booster organizations that support only a single sport or activity, the ERA Booster Club supports the broader student experience across more than 22 programs - including athletics, robotics, academic teams, and student activities.

Your support helps create opportunities that might otherwise not exist.

How Your Donations Make an Impact

Booster Club funding helps support:

• Team equipment and program enhancements
• Competition registration fees
• Travel and lodging support
• Training opportunities and camps
• End-of-season celebrations
• School-wide community events
• Volunteer coordination and student leadership opportunities

Over the years, Booster Club support has helped fund opportunities and equipment such as:

• Cross Country summer training camp
• Robotics parts, computer equipment, and tournament travel support
• Sending a Math Team student to the American Regions Math League competition
• Baseball batting cages, portable pitching mound, and L-screen
• Soccer portable team bench and shade cover
• Track & Field pole vault poles

These are often the types of needs that fall outside traditional school budgets but make a meaningful difference in student experience, development, and success.

Supporting Families, Not Just Programs

Booster Club fundraising also helps reduce the financial burden on families.

Because of the generosity of donors and volunteers, ERA students and parents are not constantly asked to participate in product fundraising throughout the year. Instead of selling gift wrap, cookie dough, wreaths, or other products, our community fundraising efforts help directly support programs and student opportunities in a more meaningful and efficient way.

Without organizations like the ERA Booster Club:

• Families would often absorb more direct program expenses
• Teams and clubs would have fewer resources
• Students would spend more time fundraising and less time learning, competing, and growing

A Community Effort

The strength of ERA activities and athletics depends on community involvement.

The Booster Club works closely with coaches, advisors, team coordinators, volunteers, and parents from across the ERA community to help identify needs and support students across many different programs and interests.

Whether through donations, volunteering, attending events, or serving in leadership roles, every contribution helps strengthen opportunities for ERA students.

Help Support ERA Students

Suggested annual tax-deductible donation: $30 per family

Every contribution helps support ERA athletics, clubs, and student activities. We know not every family is able to give, so we are grateful for any amount you can contribute.

Your donation helps fund student opportunities, equipment, travel support, team events, and community activities - while reducing the need for constant product fundraising throughout the year.

This is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to support ERA students and programs.

The ERA Booster Club is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Thank you for investing in ERA students, programs, and community.
