2007-08 Memberships

DBABC Membership Renewal Time
This year's middle and high school athletes are preparing to start another successful year of hard work in school, on the field and in the gym. That's right, it's time once again to demonstrate your support for a growing number of sports offered at Decatur High School and Renfroe Middle School by joining the Decatur Bulldog Athletic Booster Club (DBABC).

By joining DBABC your membership dues can immediately be used to buy the equipment and uniforms our athletes need to compete. You'll play a crucial role in maintaining our sports programs and helping them reach new heights in 2007-08. Tax dollars aren't used to buy uniforms, equipment (including nets, mats, balls, batting cages, etc.) and athlete recognition awards-total funding for these items comes from supporters like you! Boosters are believers in the importance of sport in developing children as well as building school AND community spirit. But as a bonus, Boosters get great benefits-free admission to regular season games, e-mail blasts of sports highlights, voting privileges, and more!

Take a look at our two newest membership categories added two years ago: Boneyard Booster and Big Dog Booster.  Booster Club shirts, recognition on the Booster Board at the DHS Stadium and more can be yours!  Join before August 14th at the Big Dog level and you will be invited to a Big Dog Appreciation Party scheduled for August 16th. Most importantly, your membership will benefit the hundreds of DHS and RMS students who participate in sports programs.
