We would like to welcome the following companies to the National Booster Club Association:

ATEC (Athletic Training Equipment Co.) - The name says it all. They have all kinds of training equipment and carry only the best. Check them out in Vendor Showcase.

Permaline Sports, Inc. - This Company comes to us from Canada and we welcome them with great excitement. The company puts permanent lines on football, soccer, baseball, etc., fields. It saves the school money by not having to do the lines every game.

Pecan Producers International - Wonderful pecans!!!!! They will send them anywhere and have a good fundraising program to help your booster club earn great bucks.

Pride Distributors - Did you ever wonder what it would be like to play a game that had businesses and people from your area on the board? Pride Distributors has a great game called Townopoly that does just that. Get in touch with them and see what it’s all about.

Sports and Life – They have a program of nutrition and wellness for athletes to keep not only their bodies in good shape, but their minds too.

Village Candles – Candles seem to be “the” thing this year and candles from Village Candles are definitely great. The candles are soy based and last for a long time. Check them out, see if you can’t use some candles.

The Sports Manager – Has software to track game statistics and analyze them. They also have websites you can set up.

Tendersticks – There is nothing better than being able to eat a stick of meat while you are at a game yelling your head off. They give you energy and are a healthy snack.

Waterboy Sports – The hydration equipment needed on the sidelines of some games is very expensive. Waterboy Sports will rent the equipment to you, or sell you some. Helps with the hydration of the team and dispensing of liquids to drink.

Chef-co Gourmet Fundraisers – Chef-co offers a variety of fundraising items with Li’l Annie products. They are very yummy things like cookies and pizza.

Cut In Stone – What a wonderful idea. To have a wall of stone with members names on them.

Eye Benefits – A discount eyewear source. The savings are from 20 to 50%. Look it up. Saving money is always a plus.

Nugigs Institute – Their program is called Attend and Succeed. It is to help young people stay in school and excel.

And last be not least by any means:
The One Minute Shopper – This program is one that can keep on giving to your booster club for years. TOMS sells frozen food that is better than almost all of them out there. There are proportions sized for one meal. The meat is of the best quality and the rest is just wonderful. We are very excited about TOMS. Go into their picture and their banner and you will see why.

We are excited to have each of them onboard and look forward to the opportunity of helping you become involved in the tremendous products and services each provides.

We encourage you to visit each of them on BoosterWorld and check out the opportunities they provide to support your organizations.

Vendor of the Month – Cedar Creek Fundraising

“Your One Stop Fundraising Resource!” Cedar Creek Fundraising has just about everything one could want for fundraising. Their best seller, however, is lollipops! These lollipops come in a variety of colors and shapes including ones for the 4th of July and Halloween. Cedar Creek Fundraising takes a personal interest in each of the clubs that they work with. Their goal is “to get our great opportunity for fundraising in front of every booster club.” This is one of the reasons Cedar Creek Fundraising and the National Booster Club Association is such a good match.
