We are always looking for volunteers to support the Whitman All Sports Boosters Club! The information below describes how you can volunteer by joining the Board, participating as a team representative, or supporting our fundraisers and/or communications throughout the year.

Be a Boosters Team Rep!
Each team has a Team Rep, who acts as a bridge between your team and WASBC to help parents better understand how we support Whitman Athletics and encourage participation by paying the suggested $55 annual membership dues. For teams that have the concession stand open, the Team Reps also, many times, will help secure volunteers to work a few games a season. Team Reps are also encouraged to:
- Attend Board meetings
- Share team updates and photos with our Communications Chair
- Help coordinate or lead fundraisers when appropriate
Get involved with our teams!
Walt Whitman HS is a big high school and as such, our teams are big and require a lot of support from parents to function smoothly. On game days, team parents may help to coordinate rides, meals, film, PA announcements, ticket taking and concessions. Beyond game days, team parents coordinate communications, Senior Nights, Community Nights and team banquets. There is always a need for volunteers—get involved! Don’t hesitate to reach out to your Team Rep to see how you can help.
Sell concessions at games!
Concession sales at Whitman games are coordinated by the WASBC and the profits help to underwrite equipment and physical improvements to Whitman’s fields and gym. Our concession stand at Jerome Marco stadium is open in the Fall and Spring for our Football, Soccer, Field Hockey and Lacrosse games. The concession stand outside the gymnasium is open during the Winter Season for Basketball games and Wrestling matches. WE NEED PARENTS to help by volunteering to work a few games a season. We suggest if your student is on JV you work the varsity game, and vice versa, so you don’t miss your child’s game. Usually the Team Rep oversees securing these volunteers. This is a fun way to meet other parents and support our Athletics Department.
Participate in a Fundraiser!
The WASBC raises funds through our membership dues, Mock ACT/SAT, Ad Sales, Spring Mulch Sale, our online Merch Shop and team fundraising events like soccer and cheer clinics and lacrosse Christmas tree sale. Teams are encouraged to work with WASBC to create their own fundraising event that benefits the whole Whitman community and provide a fun team building event for the kids. Your involvement—big or small—strengthens the Whitman athletic community. We are always looking for parent volunteers. Email us at president@whitmanboosters.org to get involved.
