ABOUT THE BOOSTER CLUB

Founded in late 2009, the Bishop Blanchet Booster Club was formed by the parents and guardians of BBHS student athletes to promote and support all athletics at Bishop Blanchet High School.

The goal of the Bishop Blanchet Booster Club is to promote athletics in an atmosphere that is consistent with the values of the school, and also the policies and procedures, to include the guidelines applicable to "Volunteers" established by the Archdiocese of Seattle.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

The Bishop Blanchet Booster Club is an avenue for supporters of BBHS athletic programs, athletes and the school – including parents, grandparents, coaches, alumni, relatives, local businesses, and school staff – to provide supplementary funding for BBHS's athletic programs. We sponsor improvements and additions to BBHS's facilities, sports equipment, provide coaching aids, sponsor attendance at athletic camps/events, recognize individual and team athletic achievements, increase school spirit by sale of school and athletic logo merchandise and organize other fundraising activities, and donate proceeds to the school's athletic programs and student athletes.
