Bob Highberger — President, Nordonia Athletic Boosters
Dear Nordonia Knights Fan,
The Nordonia Booster Club welcomes you to the Nordonia Athletic Boosters website. We welcome your assistance in supporting Nordonia athletes anyway you see fit. Although our organization’s key focus is to generate funding as implied in our Mission Statement below, we also promote and support sportsmanship, leadership, and development of all athletes and coaches. Our key goal is to assist our athletes so they are in the best position to succeed.
Our Mission - The Athletic Booster Club shall be a non-profit organization whose purpose is to assist in raising funds to be used for the improvement and support of the athletic programs, facilities, and recognized OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) sports programs who are in the process of working towards a varsity status at the Nordonia Hills City School District.
What did the Nordonia Boosters do last year? Here are just a few things:
- Established new funds request process for coaches
- Updated our By-Laws (last updated in 1998)
- Using new financial software (new computer generated reports)
- Instituted new concession process (more security)
- Launched a new Booster website (all booster information available)
- Updated criteria and created a new committee for scholarships
- Contributed $36,000 to the schools and athletics
- Performed three major fundraisers – Golf Outing, Mulch Spreading, and Home Days – Casino (generated $24,000)
- Expanded our membership base from 75 to 115
- Developed new membership levels – Platinum, Basic and Senior Citizens
The next question should be what are the plans for the boosters for the upcoming year? We want to continue on last year’s success, and build an even stronger Booster Club. To do that, we need to continue increasing our funding and membership base. Please keep in mind that we have five committees that we hope you get involved with. The committees are: 1) Fundraising; 2) Membership; 3) Concessions; 4) Marketing/Website; and 5) Football Moms.
Our membership drive is in full gear. Please click on the membership tab and fill out the form to become a member. We have several interesting membership packages this year, which include some great benefits and rewards that only members can receive. Please take some time to sign up and support our athletes. By supporting our athletes, you support our school.
Finally, I’d like to leave you with this thought. Take pride in the fact that our high school athletes need and receive great support from their friends and families. Please continue to get out and attend as many games as you can. I wish all of the athletes, their families and friends a great fall sports year.
Best regards.
