HEAD of the BOOSTER CLUB: Joe Verna 

BOOSTER CLUB PHOTOGRAPHER: John Hoban

PURPOSE: To support the Cross Country and in the process continue supporting the coaches, school, and Paul VI High School’s student body. All of this through a variety of activities. The Booster Club will also support the runners before, during, and after races by providing food and drinks, helping out on the course (so as not to have any lost runners), and planning pre/post race team events.

All donations given are going towards race entry fees, new apparel for each of the runners (Under Armor for the winter, team shirts, new singlets, shorts, etc.), any watches needed and other training necessities (spikes, etc.), biking equipment to help injured runners, ongoing gym/YMCA membership (for cross-training, injured runners) and any travel costs for potential postseason races (NTN, Nike Regionals, etc.).

THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, the Booster Club creates a vital support network for all of the Paul VI XC runners by doing the following:

- coordinating carpools, transportation to and from locations like Wissahickon Park, GCC, Holmdel, etc.

- setting up pre-race pasta parties and post-race snacks

- coordinating an end of the year dinner for all of the kids and their families

- potential fund raising

Any funds raised or donations received will go towards:

- Equipment (sweats replacement, technology and software, stop watches, canopies, banners, etc.) 

- invitational entry fees 

- meet expenses 

- race day shirts 

- publicity-publications
