Athletic Booster Club
The Eastern Christian Athletic Booster Club is an opportunity for parents, alumni, and staff to get more involved in athletics at EC! We hope to strengthen our commitment to all of our athletes and programs, as well as forge stronger partnerships with our beloved community. Membership applications are open and current parents, alumni, parents of alumni and staff are encouraged to get involved.
Purpose
The purpose of the Athletic Booster Club (ABC) is to directly support and bolster all athletic programs at Eastern Christian School as we honor and glorify God in and around sports competition.
“On and off the field or court, EC student athletes hone their talents while building character, developing a strong work ethic, and creating strong relationships within their team.”
Athletic Director Seth Stadtlander
The ABC supports EC student athletes in this mission through fundraising, community night involvement, and an intentional cultivation of pride in EC athletics.
In its first school year (2023-24) the ABC was able to make a difference through:
- Golf bags for the golf team
- Senior banners
- Sponsored senior boys to an all-star soccer game
- 2 double-sided soccer goals for our new turf fields at both North Haledon and Wyckoff
- Outdoor scorer’s table
- Track hurdles
- Hudl subscriptions (have you watched the EC games on this yet? It’s awesome! Give it a try!)
- Gift basket for the fall golf outing
- Sports-themed gift basket for the EC Auction
- Golf watch prize for the spring golf outing
- Fall and Winter season-end celebrations (all costs were donated by members/officers)
- Season-end coaches’ pizza parties for our teams
- Year-end beefsteak celebration at the Brownstone where all HS athletes and coaches will be able to attend for free
- And more!
