DigitalSports Introduces BoosterClub360 Fundraising for the New Economy



DigitalSports.com a national network of local sport communities, connecting athletes, coaches, fans and families, today unveiled BoosterClub360. This first-class, member-management system streamlines booster club operations by providing a secure web-based platform which enables members to join, pay dues, communicate, feature products, highlight events, offer recognition, create club awareness and raise funds. The DigitalSports's BoosterClub360 platform is available to schools, local sports organizations and associations around the country seeking to put the fun back into fundraising.

Booster clubs are an important part of most athletic and activity programs, and, especially in this economy, will often provide the vital resources for a program'ss success, said Carl Wartzack, Chief Operating Officer of DigitalSports.com. To enrich students's lives remains the primary goal of DigitalSports. BoosterClub360 was developed to enhance that mission and to offer students and their parents a positive and successful fundraising experience, he continued.

BoosterClub360 joins a growing suite of DigitalSports's web-based products for schools and organizations. This new addition was developed as a result of shrinking school budgets and the growing need for a local community'ss financial support. BoosterClub360 offers an affordable solution which allows club members to focus on the activity itself and worry less about the mechanics of back-end club management. It offers a synchronized management approach including a simple and secure web-based system, the ability to grow and maintain memberships online, e-commerce functionality for dues-payment or 'sspirit's product sales, a communications system to display news items, booster policies, recognition and events as well as a place for the community to advertise.

In this tough economy, if it were not for our booster club, the majority of our extracurricular school programs would struggle to maintain their facilities, equipment and opportunities to participate and compete, said Debbie Matthews, past president and current board member of Hammond High School'ss Booster organization . To meet the demanding needs of our clubs, our volunteers's time is becoming more and more taxed. We are excited about the seemingly unlimited benefits and support we receive from our DigitalSports community and we anticipate BoosterClub360 will minimize our challenges while it maximizes our club efficiencies and capital.

Already part of over 3,000 communities around the nation, DigitalSports has quickly become the premier source for local sports multimedia, including videos, photos, headlines, stats, standings and other information, and is widely recognized as the go-to resource for coaches, parents and fans. Available around the country, the BoosterClub360 platform enables booster clubs to leverage the power of the existing DigitalSports online community network. Clubs who do not yet have a DigitalSports online community may also receive the same benefits and are welcome to participate.BoosterClub360 handles all hosting, support, and training, offers each booster their own domain name, executes website configuration, development of various site forms including member registration and donation forms, menu set-up, processes credit card payments and more.

As part of their continued community service, DigitalSports granted over $30,000 in scholarships to exceptional young women and men in 2008, from the beaches of Hawaii to the shores of New Jersey.As the sports network grows and more students are nominated for the awards, the scholarship money is expected to double in 2009. Additionally, DigitalSports offers internships. Through the DigitalSports Developmental League, students can learn new skills by actually performing the tasks associated with a particular career that is of interest to them.
