Fundraising
The majority of our fundraising for the Athletic Boosters is through the participation of the parents whose children are involved in athletics at Maggie Walker Governors school, and the generous contributions of many of our local corporate citizens. The athletics department in most school districts in Virginia is heavily subsidized by concessions and gate receipts at high school football games. Some schools revenues will exceed $10,000 on a Friday night during football season. Maggie Walker lacks a football program and thus the funding provided by the Athletic Boosters is extremely important to all 28 varsity and junior varsity teams.
It is suggested that every parent contribute $125 to the athletic boosters for each sport which their child is a participant. If you can not afford to contribute, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer your time to assist as a team representative or as a member of the organization. We are always looking for volunteers and new ideas. Please do not be afraid to step forward.
