CSD Booster Club

Mission

Encourage and support the CSD athletic program through financial, service and spirit based activities. Incorporating Athletics, Academics and Arts all into one.

Objectives

The CSD Athletic Booster club is an extension of the CSD Athletic Council.  Our goal is to support our student athletes in developing dimensions of their whole person: character, academics, and physical skills.  We aspire for our student athletes to be able to compete in all aspects of life with dignity and respect, while having pride in themselves, their families, their teammates, as well as their school and community.  In doing so, we hope to create a memorable experience for student athletes while engaging the whole CSD community.  

The CSD Booster Club is unique in that it supports all aspects of student development. We intend to raise funds from corporate sponsors and individual families that share a common vision to change the world by developing young people into individuals that are well rounded in Athletics, Arts, and Academics. We desire to bring financial value to each family through our fund raising efforts and offer scholarship funds to family’s in need. We ask that you consider Booster Membership as above and beyond your typical donations to CSD.

Corporate sponsorship programs are being developed to drive a broader community perspective with our school. Our goal is to introduce local businesses to the great student body at CSD and drive community involvement in all aspects of CSD.

Some questions you may have…

What will it cost to join Boosters?   Boosters will offer a tiered membership. Our goal is to offer 3 levels, each with a different level of value offered for membership.  More info to come on those "tiers" soon!

How long will my membership last? Booster membership is an annual fundraising effort and your membership will be for the current school year.

Who maintains the funds offered to boosters? Complete transparency is a must. Funds will be deposited into the CSD boosters account. The financials will be maintained as required by the North Carolina Charter School program. Auditing and compliance will be integrated into the existing CSD process and we hall Booster monthly revenues / expenditures and financial statements will be reviewed monthly by the CSD Board of Directors.

Will any of my Boosters donations go to other CSD programs? All funds raised by the CSD Booster Club will be used solely towards supporting the athletics program at CSD. The one exception to this rule is the four scholarships that are awarded to seniors in the amount of $1K each in the areas of: athletics, academics, service, and the arts.  Other than that, all funds raised by the Booster Club go directly back into funding the needs of the athletics program.  For more detailed information, here is an overview of athletic expenses and who covers what.  Our goal is to completely offset all sports expenditures from CSD’s general fund in order to raise more funds for sports facilities and give back to the school we all enjoy. It’s a big goal but, it’s our desire to make it happen.

Are Elementary and Middle School included?– Absolutely! We believe we are one school, and we desire for the entire school to be involved. Our varsity sports programs and student athletes have much to offer their younger peers. We will be offering programs to keep all students involved in CSD Athletics like the “Introduction to Sports Program” being developed now by the athletic department.
