Dear Parents,

The Verona High School Sports Booster Club supports and promotes all Verona High School athletic programs. With the commitment of our parents, athletes, and coaches, we have been able to enhance school spirit, boost team morale, and, most importantly, offer financial support to all teams. During each school year, the Boosters work tirelessly to raise the necessary funds to enhance the team experience for all athletes. All of the funds raised are returned to our athletes with often needed uniforms, safety equipment, and end of year academic scholarships. This fundraising effort has become most challenging in difficult economic times, yet with the support of many, the Boosters continue to fulfill our commitment to our student-athletes. We have included a listing of contributions made by the Boosters on the attached page.

Last year was an unprecedented ending to the sports season and school year. Boosters were unable to have their spring booster dinner to celebrate our athletes and their accomplishments. Andy Yeates did a terrific job putting together a fantastic slideshow. As an organization, we were able to come together and honor the scholar-athletes with the first-ever graduation honor cords, which is something we will be continuing going forward. We also picked up the cost of all of the plaques and special awards.

As we begin the 2022/2023 academic and athletic year, we are looking for our families to support the Boosters organization. We don’t know what fundraising is going to look like yet this year, or if we will be able to host the beefsteak in February. Due to COVID, we have canceled our fall fundraiser. As an organization, we need not only donations but members. A large portion of our organization graduated with the Class of 2022. Please consider both your financial support and physical support as we navigate this new school year. As an organization, we would love to be able to continue to support all of our student-athletes, players, and coaches, but we can’t do it alone. PLEASE get involved.

Please consider contributing to the Boosters organization. We welcome any monetary donation your family can contribute to supporting our outstanding student-athletes.

Thank you in advance for your support.
