About the Hinsdale Central Booster ClubThe Boosters Club is a service organization that has been in existence since 1951. Our membership is comprised of parents, community members, and faculty. We support athletics, academic teams, drama, art, music, student leadership organizations, and special interest school clubs. BOOSTERS IS EVERYONE! We meet at Hinsdale Central on the first Wednesday of the month and all are welcome. Please feel free to call with any questions or suggestions. A Boosters Membership entitles you, your spouse, and children free admission to all regularly scheduled school sponsored home athletic events. (Tournament games are exempt). BONUS: NO WAITING IN LINE TO PURCHASE TICKETS AT THE GAMES! Why Join Boosters? I Don't Have an Athlete!
We still hear from too many people that The Boosters Club is just for families with athletes.
Yes we do support athletics at Hinsdale Central, BUT we also support academic teams, drama,
music, art, student leadership organizations and special interest school clubs. The Boosters
Club is made up of families who believe the that school sponsored extra curricular activities
play an important role in the development and well being of high school students. Boosters’
participation can help provide some of the extras in extra curricular activities beyond that
which school budgets and paid staff advisors can provide. One of the benefits for parents who
actively participate in the Boosters Club is the opportunity to get to know lots of other parents
as well as the opportunity to develop personal relationships with many wonderful people who serve
on the faculty at Hinsdale Central! Where does the money come from?The Boosters Club raises funds through membership dues ($50), concession sales
at football games, the sale of “spirit attire” and other special events. Where does the money go?
Every fall, any school team or organization can request fund through
a grant application. Grant distributions have included the following groups:
Devils Advocate, Ambassadors Club, Athletic Trainers, Boys Basketball,
Boys Cross Country, Cheerleaders, Chorus and Orchestra, Drama, Ecology Club,
El Diablo, Football, Future Business Leaders, Girls Softball, Girls and Boys Soccer,
International Club, Jazz Ensemble, Key Club, Mock Trial, Model United Nations,
Photo Club, Pom Pons, Radio Station, SADD, Senior Class, Snowball, Track and Field,
and Volleyball. Boosters Club also contributes to the Tournament Fund and awards
several senior scholarships. In addition, Hinsdale Central teams, clubs, and organizations
can earn additional funds for their individual groups by participation in our “Shared Profits”
program whereby different groups help out with the concessions and other projects. How can I help?
