Fundraising

💰 FUNDRAISING GUIDELINES

• Each program is responsible for their own fundraising. Fundraising for the general fund occurs with Membership, or other whole JHSBC fundraising events.

• Each program is responsible for ensuring their fundraising efforts do not impact other established fundraising efforts and should confirm with the JHSBC executive board for approval of fundraiser.

• All fundraising must have “Benefitting the Juanita High School Booster Club” on advertising. This keeps us in line with the rules regarding our 501(C)(3) status. (example “Pizza Night at MOD, hosted by Juanita Gymnastics, benefiting the Juanita High School Booster Club”)

• All Communications going out from your group need approval by the executive board prior to sending out.

• Fundraising must be planned, organized, and managed under the direction of the program representatives and parents.

• Treasurer should be notified if doing any raffles or auctions at fundraising events as there are laws to consider.

• NO Wearing of Uniforms for Booster events: Uniform wearing is for competing only. Wearing a uniform makes it an ASB event and all funds raised belong to ASB.

• Use of district/school facilities per district policy.

• Building Use: A JHSBC board member must sign the building use form for insurance coverage purposes. If a coach signs the Building Use form, it becomes the school’s liability and is considered part of the ASB program.

• A Waiver is needed from camp participants if run through your program as a fundraiser.

The following fundraising opportunities are suggestions from the 2023-2024 JHS Booster Club Executive Board and are based on current activities and information. 

In-house Fundraising Option: Cheddar Up 

Best for: 

• Running camps 

• Selling swag 

• Simple fundraising / donation collection efforts 

Fun Facts: 

• Athlete owns spreading the word / sharing the QR code to collect donations 

• JHS Booster Club owns and manages the Cheddar Up account used and will manage transactions including transferring funds into the specific program account. 

Alternative in-house Fundraising Option

• JHS Booster Club Swag: If/when JHS Booster Club has swag to sell at home games/events, JHS Booster Club programs are welcome to sell the JHS Booster Club swag and keep a percentage of the profit for their respective program. Items and percentages vary and will be determined throughout the school year. 

• Team Car Washes: Historically, JHS has hosted car washes at the Les Schwab Tire store in Kenmore. The City of Kirkland does not authorize car wash fundraising. Each sports program is responsible for contacting the store for scheduling, providing all supplies, promotional material, and post-event clean up.
