Mission Statement
To promote a spirit of sportsmanship, responsibility,
and enthusiasm amongst the student athletes, as well as the development and
enhancement of the athletic program.
The Booster Club is an organization comprised of
parents whose main objective is to promote sportsmanship, responsibility,
and enthusiasm amongst the student athletes as well as the development and
enhancement of the athletic program.
What we Do
In the past two years, the Booster Club has contributed
money to MBA to buy a new scoreboard in the gymnasium and to buy all new
field hockey equipment. We as an organization would like to continue to help
enhance the athletic program at MBA. In order to continue enhancing the
program the club needs your help. Please consider becoming a Board Member or
if not a Board Member, than an interested parent to help with fund raising.
The club is convinced that with the budget constraints
year after year the athletic department will need the Booster Clubs help
more and more. If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact:
Co-Presidents:
Lisa Fragomeni and Janet Starr
