RHS Booster Club - What Does It Do?

Do you know what the Booster Club does? At Riverside, we are here to raise money and create a winning and fun culture for our student athletes, families and the school itself. We are a non-profit in which 100% of the money raised goes back to our athletic teams or to make future events bigger and better each year.

How can you contribute and help your Booster Club? We have a membership drive that will start this week on GoFan. We are hoping that we can get the majority of families at Riverside to become a member. Not only is it tax deductible and inexpensive, it directly helps your coaches and students through athletic needs and wants. There is strength in numbers! We are also looking for Corporate sponsors for some of our events. If you own a business or would like to introduce us to someone that may have an interest, we want to talk with them. Have them reach out to JD Nelson or Nathan Headley with the RHS Booster Club or message us through this site.

Please follow our Facebook page Riverside Warrior Booster Club and Twitter @RHSWarriorClub and look for the Booster Club table at our home football games this year!
