VANDEGRIFT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB

WE HAVE ONE SINGLE PROGRAM SERVICE THAT SUPPORTS SCHOOL ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. NO REVENUE IS GENERATED FROM OUR SERVICE. VHS ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB (VHSABC) EXISTS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF SUPPORTING VANDEGRIFT HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. REVENUE IS GENERATED PRIMARILY THROUGH CONCESSION SALES AT EVENTS, SALES OF SPIRIT WEAR, OTHER OTHER SCHOOL RELATED MERCHANDISE SUCH AS STADIUM SEATS AND HATS. REVENUE IS ALSO GENERATED FROM CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FAMILIES AND LOCAL BUSINESSES, SALES OF DISCOUNT COUPON BOOKS (WHICH HAVE LITTLE TO NO DIRECT VALUE) TO PROMOTE LOCAL BUSINESSES THAT SUPPORT THE VHSABC. CLUB ALSO RAISES MONEY THROUGH BANQUET SALES (WHICH ONLY COVER THE COSTS OF MEALS FOR ATHLETES, GUESTS, AND THE VENUE), ADVERTISING SOLD TO SPONSORING BUSINESSES IN EXCHANGE FOR PROMOTION AT GAMES AND EVENTS, AND BANNERS HUNG AT LEANDER ISD FACILITIES, SPORTS CLINICS FOR YOUNGER ATHLETES, FUND RAISING SPORTS EVENTS SUCH AS GOLF AND TENNIS TOURNAMENTS, ETC. NONE OF THE REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAMS HAVE EXPENSES DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROGRAM SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. ALL REVENUE IS COMMINGLED TO SUPPORT VARIOUS NEEDS OF EACH ATHLETIC PROGRAM. OUR LARGEST EXPENSE ITEM IS PURCHASING EQUIPMENT, TRAINING EQUIPMENT, FACILITY RESOURCES AND IMPROVEMENTS, UNIFORMS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, BAGS AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO SUPPLEMENT THE SCHOOL'S ATHLETIC BUDGET. SINCE WE ARE A RELATIVELY YOUNG PROGRAM (9TH YEAR), THERE ARE MANY ITEMS NEEDED SUCH AS HYDRATION EQUIPMENT, COMPUTERS, RECORD BOARDS, MOTIVATIONAL BANNERS, SHADE/WINDBREAKERS FOR THE TENNIS COURTS, FACILITY SUPPORT GEAR, ETC. OUR MOST DIRECTLY RELATED EXPENSE TO REVENUE ITEMS ARE THE SALE OF SPIRIT WEAR AND CONCESSIONS. WE CAN TRACK COST OF GOODS SOLD FOR MERCHANDISE AND CONCESSIONS.
