RBHS Booster Announcements

The Bruin Booster Club promotes school spirit & provides programs & financial support to the athletic teams & student-athletes of Rock Bridge High School (RBHS).  Since 2003, the Booster Club has raised & allocated a significant amount of funds to benefit the Bruin athletic programs.  Those who purchase a Booster Club membership will receive a pass (or passes) to attend all home athletic contests in all seasons.  All money raised through membership dues stays at RBHS to support our student athletes, plus the pass can be less expensive than purchasing individual game tickets throughout a season.  


"What's on your RBHS athletic team's Wish List?"
 
Uniforms, game balls, travel bags? Each year our coaches send their "wish list" to the Bruin Booster Club. Their "wish" then becomes an "item" promoted through the "Fund An Item" campaign. This campaign gives family and friends the opportunity to donate directly to a player's team with the tax benefit of the Booster Club's 501c3 status. 100% of the funds donated goes directly to the RBHS team that the donor chooses.
 
How can you access your team's fundraising "Wish List"? Through the Bruin Auction website!
  1. Go to: www.bruinauction.com
  2. Click on "Browse, Bid, Buy"
  3. Locate your team's "Fund An Item"
  4. Purchase 1 or more of that item.
  5. Receive a tax benefit receipt email. This is perfect for the end of 2017!
So... make your team's WISHES come true with "Fund An Item"! Open through Dec 31 online!
