FOUNDATION OF HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC NEEDS
2008-09 F.A.N. Club Enrollment Form

F.A.N. is a local foundation was formed in 2007 by Madera business owners for the sole purpose of raising athletic funds to be disbursed equally between the Madera High School and Madera South High School Athletic booster clubs. Once raised, these funds would be distributed to the schools’ athletic programs via their respective athletic booster clubs. It will be the booster clubs’ responsibility to allocate the funds to the individual sports programs as they see fit.

Our goal is two-fold. First, we hope that F.A.N. will provide funds necessary to alleviate the fundraising burden from the coaches, thereby allowing them the time and energy to focus on coaching their teams to victory.

Second, we realize that with the opening of the Madera South High School, in addition to Madera High School, local businesses could be overwhelmed with requests for financial support for both schools. F.A.N. strives to alleviate “support burnout” or “support bankruptcy” by providing a method of donation that will equally assist both schools in obtaining their fundraising goals.

Should a business donate a substantial amount to F.A.N., it will receive a window decal to display, indicating that the business supports both schools equally. It also indicates to team members/coaches/parents who are trying to raise funds for their individual sports programs that the business has already donated a substantial amount of money and that they are not to solicit that business in person. However, those individuals are still free to solicit by phone or by mail. F.A.N. is not attempting to block teams from soliciting donations from a business, it is just trying to alleviate the large amount of person-to-person solicitation a business might receive.

It must be said that if a business wants to give to a specific high school or a specific sports program (ie: wrestling), F.A.N. will be able to facilitate that transaction. However, those funds would not apply toward the window decal that signifies equal support to both high schools.

F.A.N.'s ultimate financial goal is to raise enough funds so that 50% of those funds is greater that what the one high school is now receiving.
