The booster club also recognized Kiptyn Hillman for donating $1,500 to the organization. Hillman, with the help of friends, raises and sells pumpkins each fall and donates the proceeds to groups that support Menomonie athletics.

The booster club raises funds throughout the year through a variety of events and activities. In addition to Evening with the Coaches, the group hosts a fall golf tournament, a cribbage tournament, the annual MHS alumni tournament, a cash calendar raffle, and concession and reserved seat sales during varsity football games.

The club donated $15,000 to the athletic department last fall, bringing its total contributions for the school year to $43,000.

Made up of parents, coaches, and community supporters, the booster club supports all MHS athletic programs. Funds raised are shared among every sports team, with the organization’s mission focused on promoting athletics and providing resources for student-athletes and coaches.
