Colby Hornet Athletic Booster Club

The Colby Hornet Athletic Booster Club was established in 1994 and has been in existence ever since.  The Booster Club holds a monthly meeting on the first Wednesday of each month starting at 6:00pm in the Colby High School LMC (library).  There are no meetings in June or July.  All community members are welcome and encouraged to attend.  The Colby Hornet Athletic Booster Club cannot function without the help of volunteers who dedicate their time and talents in a variety of ways like coaching, admissions, concession stands, scholarship committee, raffles etc.  Anyone who would like to help in any way is encouraged to attend the meetings and/or indicate on the booster club membership form where you would be willing and/or able to help.  None of this would be possible without the amount of community support that we receive and we Thank You for all of your tremendous support.  The Colby Hornet Athletic Booster Club is dedicated to enhancing the Athletic Experience for all athletes.

Next Meeting will be Wednesday, August 19th at 6:00pm in the Colby High School LMC.
