Valley Booster Club

The Valley Tiger Booster Club (VTBC) is a non-profit organization that provides financial support to the Valley Athletics Office and other school-related activities and organizations. The VTBC raises money through three different sales operations: VTBC Memberships; Concessions; and Merchandise. The net sales dollars raised from these operations are used for contributions to the sports programs based on annual requests from the coaches and the Activities Director for uniform and equipment purchases, supplies and other related expenses. These requests are brought before the VTBC Board for approval.

During the current fiscal year, the VTBC is targeting to contribute more than $70,000 to the athletic and activities programs.

Clearly there is a need for the VTBC’s financial support to the athletic programs. In fact, the more successful our teams are, the greater the expense impact to our athletic department in travel costs, state tournament fees, etc.

The general fund for the West Des Moines Community Schools (WDMCS) only pays for coaches’ salaries. The athletic programs generate money through ticket sales and fundraising. This money is used for the cost of hosting events, travel, uniforms, fees for the athletic programs, and facilities improvements.

“The VTBC is an essential and vital part of the success of our athletic programs” says Brad Rose, Valley athletics and activities director. “The money requested from the VTBC is for needs, not wants. I thank the VTBC for all of the financial support provided to the Valley athletic programs.

“I also would like to thank everyone who has purchased a VTBC membership and the volunteers who work the concession stands. Your efforts help make the Valley Athletic programs the best that they can be.”

So remember, by purchasing VTBC Memberships, food items from the concession stand, or Valley merchandise from our booths, you are helping support the Valley athletic programs and other school organizations.

Please email VTBoosters@outlook.com if you’d like more details and information about VTBC. Thank you for your support!

Valley boasts a strong athletic tradition that complements its outstanding academic program. Such success is promoted by the Valley Tiger Booster Club (VTBC), which is supported by your membership.

Both the Valley High School Athletic Department and the VTBC strongly encourage you to become a member. All Valley and Valley Southwoods student-athletes benefit from the contributions of members to the VTBC, as do Stilwell and Indian Hills junior high student-athletes.

Your contribution to the VTBC, as well as your purchase of VTBC merchandise, concessions, Tiger Tot ads, and Tiger Paws/Vs, are used for the purchase of uniforms, equipment, and weight room apparatus for Valley athletes, cheerleaders, student-trainers, and dance team members. Such items used by Valley student-athletes are not subsidized by any student fundraising. This is why your financial support is greatly needed and appreciated. For Valley and Valley Southwoods to maintain top-quality programs for all, it is imperative that every parent/guardian — particularly of student-athletes, cheerleaders, student-trainers, and dance team members — participate in and contribute to this endeavor.

All memberships include a “Valley Booster Club” window sticker.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Valley Tiger Booster Club! Volunteers are needed for many upcoming events, including concessions for athletic events and merchandise sales during school registration.

Please read the following prior to clicking on the link below to sign up to volunteer:

The VTBC concession stands have relied primarily on volunteer help until, of course, this year. At events that we have been able to have concessions this year, we have had to staff with paid personnel, and due to spectator limitations, wages often exceeded concession revenue. We are now in a position to be able to bring back some of that volunteer help, in order to try to generate greatly needed revenue to support our Tiger programs.

Since we are at the end of the school year with just one sports season remaining, we are not assigning shifts to specific teams, but rather hoping that we will be able to fill these needs by just sending out the signup to everyone. Please see the signup.com link below. Additionally, these signups are available to students looking for Silver Cord hours, as well as adults.

If you have signed up to volunteer and your name is already listed, but you are unable to volunteer and need a replacement, please contact your team parent sports rep.
