Milford Athletic Boosters outline $757,000 in funds, new CRM and pay‑to‑play grants
Summary
The boosters reported roughly $757,000 across accounts, a new CRM and POS for concessions, a pilot pay‑to‑play grant program budgeted at $50,000 (estimated $30,000 spend this year), and longer‑term capital goals including a field house and turf infields.
Chris, president of the Milford Athletic Boosters, presented the boosters' first annual overview in front of the board.
He said the boosters have donated or supported district projects for years and now manage about $757,000 across general, capital and subaccounts (general fund ~$291,000; capital ~$237,000; team subaccounts ~$228,000; Venmo balance shown as $1,000). The boosters described investments this year in a new CRM to track alumni and donors, a POS system to reduce cash handling and improve inventory control, and a new set of pay‑to‑play grants intended to help students cover participation costs. Chris said the boosters budgeted $50,000 for pay‑to‑play grants and expect about $30,000 to be used in the current year, covering grades 7–12 for sanctioned sports.
Longer‑term capital priorities include a Cherry Lucas Field House rendering and discussion of infield turf for baseball and softball to extend usable days and potentially generate rental revenue. The boosters said they manage 24 subaccounts and plan to continue supporting facilities, equipment and student experiences.
Board members asked about coordination with district administration on college‑outreach platforms and privacy safeguards; boosters said initial meetings flagged privacy issues and that any system would be opt‑in for families.
