Sports Boosters

Who We Are

SPORTS BOOSTERS is a non-profit organization of parents, coaches, students, faculty, alumni, and community members committed to promoting excellence in Sussex Academy School interscholastic athletics by voluntarily helping to enrich the educational experience and foster success in the classroom for all students by building “Seahawk Pride” through our various sports teams.

SPORTS BOOSTERS is operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code.

What We Do

The primary purposes of SPORTS BOOSTERS are to:

  • Develop and implement fundraising opportunities;
  • Provide an equitable system of disbursing raised funds, based on individual needs of each athletic program, as a secondary source to the Sussex Academy School District and Sussex Academy athletic funding;
  • Promote attendance and spirit at athletic events and provide scholarship assistance for athletes in need;
  • Provide appropriate parent-oriented assistance to Athletic Department staff;
  • Promote awareness of the important relationship between success in athletics and academics;
  • Advocate for Sussex Academy Athletics in the community;
  • Provide a forum for discussions about athletic programs and related issues.
