Gladstone Braves Fan Club, Inc.

I.          Role of the Club

The Gladstone Braves Fan Club exists as an organization of parents and community persons dedicated to:  

A.  Supporting, encouraging and advancing the athletic program and related activities of the Gladstone Area High School, thereby cultivating clean, wholesome school spirit, promoting good sportsmanship, and developing high ideals of character.

B.  The club shall promote projects to improve facilities, awards and equipment necessary to provide an adequate athletic program for the school district.

C.  The club shall not seek to influence or direct the technical activities or policies of the school administration or of the school officials who are charged with the responsibility of conducting the athletic program of the schools of the district.

D.  The club shall do nothing which violates the rules of the MHSAA, or in any way jeopardizes the membership of the school district in said athletic association.

II.         Financial

The Fan Club each year raises money for the needs of each sport that otherwise would not be available from the athletic department. Primarily, the monies of the Fan Club will be expended for: awards, banquets, travel, equipment, and other things deemed appropriate by the Fan Club Board of Directors.

III.        Relationship with Coaches

Coaches are encouraged to take advantage of every opportunity to work with the Fan Club in their many fund-raising projects during the course of the school year. The more coaches become involved in Booster projects, the more it will strengthen good-will between the club and the athletic department. In the event a Fan Club member asks you about your athletic needs, go ahead and discuss it in general with the member, but remind him/her you will make the request officially through the Fan Club.

IV.        Relationship with the Athletic Director

The high school Athletic Director should attend all athletic booster meetings and act as official liaison between the school district and the Fan Club. In August of each year, the Athletic Director should meet with Fan Club officers to review this policy and discuss various events and fund-raisers in an effort to avoid conflicts and improve communications.
