Booster Club

The Live Oak Booster Club is a parent volunteer organization whose mission is to promote, support, and serve the Live Oak athletics and fine arts programs. We are dedicated to advancing the ideals of our school, supporting the staff and faculty, providing financial support, facilitating parent involvement, and assisting teachers and coaches in enriching the athletic and fine arts experience. Our events are organized to help promote school spirit and encourage students to acquire and grow in Godly virtues. The Booster Club offers various opportunities for parents to support and serve our students, families, coaches and faculty.

The Booster club raises funds through membership dues, fundraising events, sponsorships, and the Live Oak Spirit Shop. These funds provide additional support for the athletic and fine arts programs beyond their annually budgeted needs. Booster Club funds have helped purchase scoreboards, football helmets, team uniforms, tents, a batting cage, golf equipment, video equipment, and microphones.
