The Nicolet Athletics Booster Club is in desperate need of several new board members, since many of our current board members are the parents of juniors and seniors.

Through concession sales, club membership, and our golf outing, the Booster Club raises thousands of dollars for our student-athletes each year. Providing scholarships, equipment, travel costs and gear are just some of the ways the Booster Club supports our Knights. But we can’t do it without parents getting involved. Please reach out to board president Tony Bongard (tonybongard@gmail.com) to find out how you can make a difference.

Thank you, and go Knights❗
