Important Notice Regarding Team Sponsorships Sponsorships of Mira Costa athletic teams and visual and performing arts organizations are only available through MBX Booster Clubs. This includes the sale of banners, branded merchandise, distribution of promotional materials, publishing game calendars and more. It has come to our attention that several companies are approaching local businesses and representing themselves as selling sponsorships that say they benefit Mira Costa athletics. These are not authorized representations and NO funds from these activities are received by Mira Costa High School or the teams they say they are representing. If you or your business are approached, please contact Jennifer Williams HERE. We can verify the validity of the opportunity and direct you to the appropriate booster officers.
