booster club

Hey there everyone, Long time no post. I have been viewing a lot lately just not posting as much. I am glad to see so many gymmies are doing well and having a fun year. I love reading the meet posts. As far as Cait goes, not much of an update. She is preparing for level 7. Her first meet...

Any tax accountants out there? I'm posting this to the parent forum because I need a few quick answers from around the nation about how Booster Clubs pay their coaches for meet fees/expenses. Quick run down. My current gym's Booster Club writes a check to us coaches for only our meet...

This is our annual meet that we always host--The Hoedown. Should be lots of fun--this year we have the most gymnasts coming ever (yeah!). Beth will be there Saturday afternoon after practice helping out and our level 4s compete Saturday evening and our level 5s & 6s compete on Sunday. I'll be...

Hi ~ I'm am looking for any unusual fundraising ideas that bring in the $'s. My gym does not have a "booster club". The gym has seen the down side of a true booster club(agruments, certain people doing all the work,etc) so......I am trying to organize a "Parent club" for all our team parents...

Here is a short history. Our club is 9 years old and our booster Club is about 5years old. We have made huge progress in the last 3 years of our booster club thanks to some dedicated people working hard to set policy. We still have some policy to go such as financial and possibly term...

Hi, There is a topic being brought up at our next Booster club meeting. Some think that when voting, making decisions, etc each FAMILY should get a vote, others think each GYMNAST should get a vote. We have a very small team and there are 3 families with 2-3 gymnasts which is not quite half...

Thank you to all those that have donated and/or joined the booster club. If you donate $5 or more, I will automatically add you to the booster club. We did seem to have a small glitch with the program. If you donated by using the "donate" button on Nov. 1st or before...your donation did not...

I am sure a few of you have noticed our new Chalkbucket Booster Club icons under the mods, and a few members, names. This club is open to all members, just follow the link and you can see how to join... The Chalk Bucket - Booster Club The forum is growing daily and now we have over 2100...

Brand new gym in a new town with only 3 or 4 team girls from the prior gym/prior town. None of us have been involved with a booster club before, coming from a YMCA. Going into a new town that is highly competitive, I'm afraid the coaches are going to have to turn girls away but none lined up...

I was wondering if anyone knows of the proper procedures to eliminate a booster club? I am guessing that it would have to be voted on my all members and that the owners of a gym would have no say in this...is this true? Or, can owners of a gym decide to eliminate the booster club themselves? amom

It seems as though most 501(c)(3) non-profit Booster Clubs out there are using fundraising to benefit only the families who are members of the Booster Club. Meaning, you earn points by volunteering, which translates into dollars in your daughters individual account to cover her portion of...

Hi CB Friends, My DD's gym has had a small booster club for a few years. We have done one or two fundraisers a year. There has been one mom kind of running the whole show. The daughter left the gym and hermom is not doing any Booster Club stuff. She asked that I take over for her. I said...

Does anybody know if our Booster Club can become 301c in Washington State? And if so, can they ask for grants from grantors? Or is that illegal?

How does the booster club at your gym work??? Our gym has a booster club and we are always looking for more effective ways to fundraise. It's hard to keep going to the same people over and over "now this week we are selling....." That could make you feel like an Amway person. Not to mention that...

I am not certain if this is the proper place for this topic, so I apologize if I am incorrect. I am interested in finding out how to start a booster club at our gym so, any input from anyone that has started one, been involved in starting one, been a part of one etc. is great. How does a...
