The Ballard High School Athletic Booster Club (ABC) is a group of volunteers working to support, promote, and advocate for all BHS athletes.
We believe quality athletic programs enrich the high school educational experience.
Our focus is on programs that benefit all athletes at BHS, and we are especially interested in promoting school-wide community and helping remove barriers to play. Your annual donations directly support our projects, including:
Providing Team Grants and Fundraising Support
Producing & distributing the Ballard Athletics Newsletter
Partially funding the Strength & Conditioning Program
Selling Beaver Gear and hosting Spirit Giveaways
Hosting fundraising and community events for Ballard families
Promoting Ballard Athletics at events in our community
