Fundraising

The VIP Booster organization maintains and manages the fundraising efforts for the Tiger Regiment.

Our annual fundraising plans and efforts are shared at the Parent meeting and during general booster meetings (that all parents are welcome to attend). The Tiger Regiment budget is funded by both pledges and fundraising. Both are very important to the success of this program.
