Why a points system? Sustain Booster Club viability & Financial stability due to: A significant increase in the number of wrestlers participating (from 26 to a potential 70 in 5 years) A significant decline in parent participation A reliance entirely too much on a few parents/families

Booster Club spends approximately $450 Booster Club spends approximately $450.00 including scholarship monies per wrestler each year. As of today, we have 70 wrestlers that have expressed an interest in participating this year. 70 * 450 = $31,500

(6/24) 2008 Golf Tournament participation helped to make this decision. There were 50 families in the program as of September 20, 2008 and only 16 provided a sponsor or raised a donation. Sponsors Dollars Golfers raised Existing Families 67% 57% 42% (16/24) Coaching Staff 8% 14% 24% (2/24) Alumni 25% 29% 34% (6/24)
