Fundraising and Volunteering

Fundraisers and Volunteering

If your child will be participating in high school soccer, your participation in the booster fundraisers is vitally important to maintain a high caliber program that is able to cover expenses such as uniforms/team apparel, assistant coaching fees, team activities, and more. Fundraising information will be handed out at Captains Practice or Season Kickoff Meeting.

This year our major fundraisers are Booster Dues Donations, Firehouse Pizza, Cub Foods bagging, and Von Hanson's grilling (other possible fundraisers TBD). We are always open to suggestions if you know of any high-impact fundraising opportunities or if you can assist in reaching out to local businesses.

2024 Booster Dues Suggested Donations:

Varsity Team Players: $125

10th Grade Team Players: $75

Please pay by cash or check (payable to BHS Women's Soccer Booster Club)

*Note from the athletics department: All athletics and many activities have fees associated with them. However, if any family needs financial assistance to reduce participation fees, please contact Jeanine Riggs (jriggs@isd191.org), Administrative Assistant for Athletics/Activities. No student will ever be denied participation in athletics or activities due to financial hardship.

Volunteering

The soccer program relies heavily on parent volunteers to organize and assist in supporting the teams. Without our volunteers, there is no BHS Girls Soccer program. Everyone is a booster parent!

2024 Opportunities

Below is a list of activities managed by BHS Girls Soccer boosters. Family members are asked to sign up for a minimum of two to three areas to ensure every team has a fun and memorable season.
