Challenges and Successes

The Chelmsford High School All Sports Booster Club (CHSASBC) is a charitable non-profit organization that provides financial support to Chelmsford High School’s athletic programs. Through fundraising campaigns, sponsorships, and donations, CHSASBC helps bridge the financial gap for unbudgeted expenses, ensuring athletes and coaches have access to tournaments, training equipment, and off-campus facilities. The club also awards scholarships, grants, and stipends, granting over $50,000 in scholarships since 2020. Additionally, CHSASBC fosters school spirit by providing themed apparel and hosting an annual awards banquet to honor top academic athletes. However, CHSASBC is currently facing a federal lawsuit in Massachusetts, alleging trademark violations related to selling apparel featuring the school’s athletic lion logo. The club firmly believes in its legal defense and is committed to fighting the lawsuit, but the legal proceedings pose a significant financial burden. To continue supporting Chelmsford student-athletes, CHSASBC has launched a donation campaign to fund its legal defense. The club calls on the community to help preserve its legacy of supporting student-athletes for over 50 years, ensuring future generations benefit from its efforts. Contributions will help sustain its mission and protect the foundation built by generations of dedicated volunteers. 

The article from The Lowell Sun, titled "The Z-List: CHS Lions Roar in Keeping Their Beloved Emily Myerson's Memory Alive," highlights the efforts of Chelmsford High School alumni to honor the memory of Emily Myerson, a cherished member of their community who passed away in 2020. In her honor, alumni have organized various initiatives, including scholarships and community events, to celebrate her life and contributions. These efforts reflect the strong bond among CHS alumni and their commitment to preserving Emily's legacy. One significant tribute is the annual soccer tournament established in Emily's name. This event brings together former classmates, friends, and community members to participate in friendly matches, fostering unity and remembrance. The tournament not only celebrates Emily's passion for soccer but also serves as a fundraiser, with proceeds supporting scholarships for CHS students who exemplify the qualities Emily was known for, such as leadership, kindness, and community involvement. Through these ongoing efforts, the Chelmsford community ensures that Emily Myerson's spirit and impact continue to inspire future generations.
