Each year, the GBN Athletic Directors give the coaches of the GBN athletic teams the opportunity to request a wishlist item. The requested items are reviewed by the Athletic Directors for approval, and a combined wishlist is presented to the GBN Booster Club Board for consideration for funding. In addition to the annual wishlist gifts, the GBN Booster Club supports larger projects that often require several years of fundraising, such as the recently completed turf stadium.
The GBN Booster Club is proud to support the needs of all athletic teams on an equal basis without regard to the number of participants or the number of spectators drawn by the sport.
