Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28

“The gridiron club raises money to support our student-athletes and coaches at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Thus, the gridiron club supports the football program in several ways: by helping it meet its operational needs, such as providing compensation for coaches, scouts, and film software. By helping it meet its capital needs, including equipment, in areas that are not met by the d-s school athletic budget or by the d-s boosters. By providing football-specific publications, awards, and food that enhance the players' experience and build team spirit. By advocating for the football program with the administration and wider community. By providing whatever else the gridiron club feels is beneficial for the football program as needs arise.”
