The New York Mills Eagles Booster Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting academic, artistic, athletic and extracurricular activities at the NY Mills school, is seeking sponsors this October to support activities throughout the school year.

Sponsorship options include being a Platinum Sponsor ($500+), Gold Sponsor ($250-499), Silver Sponsor ($100-249) or a Bronze Sponsor ($20-99) with different perks at each level. Among the perks are listings and spotlights on their web presence, media and marketing materials, and shoutouts at school events among others.

“If you are looking for a way to reinvest in the community while gaining exposure to potential customers, this is your chance,” reads their sponsorship drive form. “The NYM Booster Club is a great way to give back and invest in the lives of New York Mills student athletes.”

The form goes on to say that the donations received will be put into the organization’s general fund to be distributed back into the school community to support the many sports, activities and programs that the school offers.

The Booster Club has been supporting these programs at the school since at least the 1990s and focuses on activities and athletics. The organizations meets monthly to discuss activities and ideas taking place to help further promote programs for students and athletes.

“This past May, we hosted our 23rd annual Booster Club golf tournament at Thumper Pond in Ottertail,” said NY Mills Booster Club member Sarah Wilhelmi. “This is our main fundraiser event and takes place the first Saturday in May. We also have a sponsorship drive going on with a deadline of November 1 with membership details on our webpage. We would love to get more parents involved in this organization. They can find meeting dates and times on our Facebook page and school newsletters.”
