SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS

Dear ELCA Parents,

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. The fall sports season will begin soon, and the teams are expected to do well. I wanted to get with you to let you know that now is time to join the ELCA Booster Club. Joining the Booster Club is a great way to support the student-athletes and the teams that represent ELCA Athletics.

ELCA has a rich and proud tradition of excellence on and off the playing fields. The ELCA Booster Club’s financial contributions have made great impacts on all the ELCA sports teams and the many athletes that have participated in our programs throughout the years. By joining the ELCA Athletic Boosters you will be helping fund opportunities for our ever-developing sports programs. Our recent projects include, the resurface of the track and the funding for the new hitting facility!

There are many different levels of sponsorships available that you can help support ELCA Athletics. Each one is designed to meet the needs you may have as either a Corporate Sponsorship or an Individual/Family Sponsorship. All membership levels include Two free entries into all the sporting events held on the campus here at ELCA. The only exclusion would be all GHSA playoff games in the respective sports. You will also get a minimum of two Homecoming Dinner tickets. Maybe you would want to know where you will sit at the football games, we have a level for that starting with our Bronze level. Maybe you would like to advertise your business; we have a few levels which can help you with that.

Seating in the Blue Booster section at the stadium is premium seating. We need to show our support for ELCA Football by filling it up each game. We will offer with the bronze level and above the ability to purchase extra seats for $75.00 a seat for the whole season. So, if you need more than the two seats that comes with the membership you can now purchase more with this option. This is reduced from past years. Priority will be given first to renewals from last year and then new request based on the date we receive the form.

Booster passes will be the same as last year as we will use the vendor Ticket Spicket to manage our game passes. So, you will be able to use your phone to get in for the games.

Heading up our Booster Membership team this year will be:

Jaqueline Lilly (Membership/Sponsorship) boosterclub@eagleslanding.org

Ted Reagan and Eddy Wright (Corporate and Business Membership/Sponsorship)

We would appreciate your support and you may complete the form below to join. Just send it in with your child or email it to boosterclub@eagleslanding.org and we will bill your account for your membership.

Sincerely,

Eddy Wright

President - ELCA Booster Club
