THE KIDS NEED YOU!

There are various ways parents can help, and we invite you to get involved:

Join the Booster Club. The Bethlehem Central Cross Country and Track and Field Booster Club (Delmar, NY) brings parents together to help with meets and to raise money for items not included in the normal school athletics budget. Support raised by the club has helped purchase a race clock, race timers, meet scoring software, team tents, and covered other expenses such as entry fees and bus transportation for meets, awards, and hosting fees for this web site. To learn more about what we do, e-mail Seth Denning. Thank you and see you at the meets!

Booster Club dues are currently $25 per family per year. Members receive a discount on the cost of end-of-season family dinners. To join, please mail-in the Booster Club Membership Form (a PDF file, in Adobe Acrobat format).
