Forty-four years
of showing up.
A volunteer board, an independent 501(c)(3), and one job: make sure every Hamilton athlete has what they need to compete.
Who we are
Volunteer-led,
community-funded
An independent, volunteer-run 501(c)(3), founded April 20, 1982. We support every interscholastic program at Hamilton Middle School and Hamilton High School — boys and girls, every level.
Parents, staff, alumni, and neighbors. Every board seat is unpaid and no program is anyone’s favorite. Coaches ask, the board votes, the gear shows up.
What we do
Four jobs,
year round
Fund essential gear
Uniforms, gear, and safety equipment a school budget can’t cover.
Support teams & development
Travel, training tools, and the extras that let a team represent Hamilton properly.
Power athletics through the stand
Game nights and tournaments, turned into funding for every sport.
Strengthen beyond the field
Facilities, middle school starter gear, and senior scholarships.

Questions
The things
people ask
What is the Hamilton Athletic Boosters Club?
A volunteer-run, independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded April 20, 1982. Our purpose is to support all male and female interscholastic athletic programs at Hamilton Middle School and High School by broadening involvement between students, families, and the school community.
Do you support all sports?
Yes. All middle school and high school athletic programs, boys' and girls'. Funding decisions are based on coach requests and program needs, not sport popularity or roster size.
Are you part of the school district?
No. The Boosters are independently run. We work closely with coaches and school leadership, but we operate separately from the district.
How are funds allocated?
Coaches submit requests through the formal request form under Resources. Requests are reviewed and approved by board vote, so funds are used thoughtfully and responsibly within the school year.
