Who should join the Booster Club and become a member?
YOU! The Booster Club cannot continue to support the Raider athletic teams without the support of parents, grandparents, local businesses, and community members. Whether you are the parent of a student athlete, enjoy attending high school or junior high events, have younger children who will soon be on Raiders teams, or just like to support the youth of the community - the Booster Club is for YOU! Without the Booster Club, our student athletes and families would need to front the vast majority of expenses for uniforms and our teams would not have the equipment they need to succeed.
Joining the Booster Club DOES NOT require you to attend any meetings. The "Membership" is purely a financial donation.

How can I volunteer to help the Booster Club?
WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS! The Booster Club is able to donate generously to Williamsburg Raider Junior and Senior High School programs because of all of the volunteer hours put in by the Williamsburg community, parents and students. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact us and we will keep you on a list of people to contact when we need help. Even just a couple hours of your time throughout the year will help tremendously. Volunteering is usually done through concession stand help, merchandise table help and assisting with events we have throughout the year. Thank you for considering.
Do I need to go to meetings if I join the Booster Club?
NO! Joining the Booster Club does not require attending any meetings. You become a member each year by making a financial contribution to the program to support Raider athletics.
