Thank you parents & players for an Amazing 2025 season!
š How We Keep Pondo Going StrongĀ
The Ponderosa Booster Club works hard to support our students without putting too much pressure on families. One big way we do that is through fundraisingāwhether it's events, donations, or creative campaigns, weāre always finding ways to bring in support.Ā
š Two Paths, One Team
At Ponderosa, weāre lucky to have two powerful fundraising efforts working together to support our athletes. See below to see how they differ and what they focus on; each one makes a difference.
