Gridiron Booster Information:

Who we are - The Inglemoor High School Viking Booster Club is the official Booster Club for the IHS Football program.  We are a group of parent/guardian volunteers that exists to positively support, promote, and enhance the experience of Viking Football, its student-athletes, coaches and families.  The Gridiron Booster Club works to achieve this through the inclusion of all football families as Booster members; strengthening participation with the IHS student body, administration and faculty; working hand-in-hand with the junior football program to build the future identity of IHS football; and establishing financial and service partnerships within the local community.  We accomplish this through family booster fees, fundraising, securing sponsorships & donations, and volunteering our time in order to reduce expenses while creating community awareness.  Our goal is to foster goodwill, sportsmanship, and team spirit among all members; engage the Viking Community in support of the football program; and build a sense of pride in being a part of Viking Football.

Fees and Donations: There are multiple fees required by the school and the booster club to ensure a great season for our players. The ASB and Football season fees will be on the TouchBase site in August, your athlete cannot play until the school fees are paid. 

The Vikings Gridiron Booster Club donations are separate from ASB and sports fees. The booster club donation request for 2024  is $225. We would like to have all donations in by  August 31st.  The team is highly dependent on the booster donations for support. As with most sports at the high school level, the school funding is not sufficient to provide comprehensive support. 

The booster parent donations pay for key items such as:
- HUDL fees which provide game film review and analysis the coaches use weekly for game prep and communications to the players
- Additional practice equipment beneficial to the team
- Team snacks and food (traditionally supply game time snacks and drinks for half time replenishment, food during 2-a-day practices, game day team dinners, etc)
- Additional coaching and training costs as requested by the coaches (e.g. Volt being used for weight training)
- Senior gifts and senior night activities
- CWU Summer Camp and transportation
- Summer 7 on 7 Camp
- professional photography

The booster donations from parents  are incredibly important component to keep the booster club running.  Again, we would like to have all booster donations in by August 1st.

Booster donations can be made: 

• Through PayPal: @InglemoorViksFootbal  (only 1 L in football) or through the link on our website
• Check can be given to any board member at the parent meeting in August.
• Additional payment arrangements can be made, just email us when and where
  
• Pay here through Zeffy (no fees).  Zeffy will take ApplePay, GooglePay, and all major credit cards, and ACH -  no account required.

If your athlete is on student assistance or scholarship for fees or you just need support, please reach out to Kathryn, the booster treasurer

[email protected] for assistance.

Volunteers:

In addition to the fees, WE NEED YOU!   We ask that all parents commit to 5 hours within the program.  We need a minimum of 4 people on the board to continue operating as a 501c3 organization.   We also need as many volunteers as we can to help with all the below items.   You do not need to have any experience to do this, it's OK if you are a freshman or sophomore parent and haven't been through a full season…the more help we have, the easier it will be for all of us and the more meaningful it will be for the players.  Please consider joining the board and volunteering! 

Critical tasks we need to provide starting immediately include the following:

• Parent and community communications (football team website and social media)
• Fundraising: Sponsors (e.g. need to continue working with community on local sponsorship)
• Fundraising: Team Car Wash, Value Village donations by the truck, and blanket sales
• Team dinners and snacks
• Cookie Tuesdays
• Concession Stands at PK
• Photographers
• Senior Night and Senior gifts
• End of the Year Banquet
• Commemorative Programs creation for Senior Night
• Chain gang at all home games - be where the action is on the sidelines with the down markers at home games.
