The Athletic Booster Club supports Darlington’s interscholastic athletic program by fundraising and volunteering. Club involvement helps provide quality facilities and equipment for Darlington’s varsity, junior varsity, and Middle School teams. The club operates concession stands, sells programs, manages parking at home events, plans the Pigskin Picnic and offers Booster Club memberships to generate revenue for Darlington athletics.
Monies received from dues and fundraisers have been used to purchase items such as video and practice equipment, a sound system for the football stadium, a waterboy hydration system, score boards, a lightning detector, wrestling mats, cheerleading mats, lacrosse helmets and a concessions trailer. These funds also provided $125,000 toward the construction of the A.J. Huffman '57 Memorial Athletic Center and $25,000 toward the construction of the baseball hitting facility and restrooms, and made it possible to remodel the Lower School gym, repaint the track surface, and fund the scholar awards that are presented seasonally during sports assemblies. This year, the Booster Club contributed $50 toward the purchase of each letter jacket and $100 toward the purchase of state championship rings.
Membership fees are $75 for an individual and $125 for a family membership. Reserved parking for all home football games may be purchased through the Athletic Booster Club for $25. Grandparent membership fees are $40 and include two athletic passes and one parking pass per membership. During online registration in the summer or by contacting the membership chairman, you will have the opportunity to choose the membership package of your choice.
