Sports Boosters

Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women is proud to support over 550 student athletes who participate on nearly 30 different sports teams and clubs. That’s approximately 70% of the entire student population who balance their time between academics and athletics. Because of this, Mercy has a very robust and active Sports Boosters. Along with the Athletic Director, Sports Boosters is comprised of Mercy parents who are passionate about ensuring our student athletes and coaches have the support and tools they need to succeed. There are four major areas where the Sports Boosters shine:

• Supporting ALL Mercy sports programs with needed purchases
• Providing annual scholar/athlete awards (over $2,000 distributed annually)
• Managing concessions (basketball and volleyball)
• Hosting the annual Sports Booster Dinner to recognize coaches

All parents with daughters who participate in Mercy athletics are welcomed (and encouraged) to join the Sports Boosters! You can contribute at the level that works for you. Simply download the Registration Form and send in with your contribution. Don’t forget, all Booster members receive free gifts! Whether you are a registered member of Sports Boosters, or still thinking about joining, please be our guest at an upcoming meeting (see the Calendar).
