WHAT IS BOOSTERS? Here is a basic overview from http://wsbca.org/: A booster club is a volunteer based parent organization developed to provide support (volunteer and fundraising) for a given extracurricular program or educational need. Support can range from raising funds for covering program expenses to volunteering time for fixing a ball field, driving the team to camp or providing the man power for a school event. The booster club is an invaluable asset for schools and extracurricular programs. Booster Clubs can be found supporting both school and non-school based programs ranging from sports, music and arts. Just like any other organization, booster clubs are required to follow state and federal guidelines and regulations, which include becoming registered with the State Secretary, securing a Federal Employee Identification Number (EIN) and it is highly advised that all booster clubs also register to become 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations. Booster clubs supporting school based programs must also follow school and district regulations.
