All proceeds will go to the Olean Sports Boosters Club for the benefit of the sports program at the Olean School District
The purpose of the Booster Club is to promote, sponsor, and carry out projects to aid and assist in the Olean High School athletic program. The Olean High School Sports Boosters was created to help our student athletes in areas where the annual school budget falls short or needs assistance. Each year, the boosters purchase equipment needed by the sports teams that cannot be covered in their budget.
The Sports Boosters also host three sports banquets - Fall, Winter, Spring. All varsity athletes and coaches receive free admission for dinner, parents/friends attend a reception in the auditorium and all spirit items/plaques given to these student athletes are funded through the boosters.
“We were in person in 2022 and hope to get tickets sold close to the normal of 450 purchased,” reported Meme K. Yanetsko, OHS Sports Boosters Treasurer. “For those attending the party, in addition to the great food and drink from the Pulaski Club, attendees can purchase raffle tickets for more that 45 baskets!” she added.
The drawing party, starting at 6 PM, will feature complimentary food and drink for ticket holders, a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle, and music. Tickets are available to purchase before the event at the Olean High School Sports Boosters office (at the high school) and various booster committee members.
