Freeman High School Booster Club -- Fans and Supporters

Freeman Fans and Supporters,

Welcome to another exciting year of Freeman Scottie Athletics! We, the Booster Club, are always thrilled with the excellent community support of athletics at Freeman High School. You can continue to show that support by becoming or continuing to be a member of the FHS Booster Club!

Booster Club is formed of parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, alumni and businesses from and serving the community whose purpose supports Freeman High School athletic programs: baseball, basketball, cheer squad, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field, volleyball, and wrestling.

Revenues come from membership dues, concessions, Harvest Hoops, and other fundraising events. Typically at the end of the school year coaches from each sport may submit items needed that the school district is not eligible to support to the Booster Club Committee for consideration to purchase.

Some of the projects we have sponsored include: baseball tarps/bags, football coaches headsets, tennis rebounder, cheer mats, new gym scorer’s table, spinner/training bike, volleyball bags, golf bags, baseline concussion testing program, wrestling mats rolling carts, senior athletic scholarships and many more.

Members of the Booster Club are honored with their name on display on the FHS Booster Club banner in the high school gym. Meetings are at the High School on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. You are free to join us at the meetings.

Please call me to help with Concessions: sport(s) (509) 291-3721

The membership sign is in and will be up in the blue gym soon! It’s not too late to turn in your form and have your name up on the board. Please fill out the membership form and return to FHS. Membership dollars are used to buy the “extras” for all FHS athletic programs.

Please help us continue to support our athletes! Didn’t get a chance to help with concessions during the fall? We can use your help during basketball & wrestling matches. Please call Shelly to volunteer. 720-6460.
