Who Are We
The Sherando Warrior Club is a 100% volunteer, not-for-profit organization designed to support and enhance the Sherando High School athletic program through volunteerism and fundraising, while promoting the highest standards of conduct and sportsmanship. The Warrior Club promotes school pride, respect, spirit and unity among the athletes, student body, administrative staff, coaches, families, and the local community.
What We Do
Each year Warrior Club awards athletic scholarships to graduating seniors who have participated in Sherando High School athletics and have been accepted to a college or a trade school. To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must have completed a minimum of 2 sports seasons of any combination as either a player, manager or trainer. A complete application is required to be submitted by the deadline set by the scholarship committee in order to be considered.
Warrior Club members are actively involved with all Sherando athletic events including, concession stand and spirit store operation; game setup and take down activities, ticket booth staffing, and a variety of other game day operations, but our efforts aren’t just limited to game days. We also manage fundraising events such as the annual Warrior Club Banquet, sponsorship agreements, raffles, and other fundraising activities.
Where Does the Money Go
Last year Warrior Club funded 43 scholarships for our graduating athletes ranging from $500-$5,000 and totaling $47,000. We were also able to provide the Athletic Department with a check for $35,000.
Unfortunately, school budgets never cover the litany of costs associated with operating a successful athletic program. It is truly impossible to manage the wide-ranging needs of every Sherando athlete with the funding provided by the school board. That’s where the Warrior Club steps in to help. The money raised throughout the year is provided to the athletes in the form of scholarships, to the athletic department to help offset operating costs or is invested back into the club to sustain its operations every year. The money raised helps to fund all of the items below and more throughout the year:
· Team Uniforms
· Equipment (balls, nets, etc.)
· Weight Room Equipment
· Field Maintenance (irrigation, fencing, etc.)
· Concessions and supplies
· Spirit store items (apparel, etc.)
· IT equipment
· Training support (tape, ice machine, therapy equipment)
· Wrestling/Tumbling Mats
· Field/Court Equipment (markers, chalk, paint, padding, etc.)
· Sound system maintenance
