Revived I.V. Booster Club for IVHS, LBMS will dish up burgers, dogs at game Aug. 31
A recently formed Illinois Valley Booster Club will have a hamburger and hot dog booth at a preseason football game at I.V. High School on Friday, Aug. 31.
The club, which would like to encompass programs at the high school and Lorna Byrne Middle School under a single umbrella, will begin serving at 6 p.m.
The game pitting the Illinois Valley High Cougars against South Umpqua will begin at 7 on the field behind the school on E. River Street..
It will be an Oregon School Athletic Association (OSAA) endowment game. The gross gate receipts will be divided 50/50 between IVHS and the OSAA Foundation.
Interest earned from the foundation’s portion of endowment game revenue, coupled with tax-deductible contributions, will be used to enhance the future of Oregon high school activities, said OSAA.
No Gold Cards, OSAA VIP, school, athletic district, officials association, or other passes will be accepted for admission.
The I.V. Booster Club is working to raise money for a new press box. Proceeds from the club’s fund-raiser might be matched with money from the Rotary Club-sponsored Duck Derby, depending on an application process.
The new I.V. Booster Club, with tentative plans to consolidate fund-raising for the two schools, will elect officers on Monday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. The open meeting will be at IVHS.
“This is a newly formed group, and all community members are encouraged to attend, especially parents and business owners,” noted a club spokesman.
