Eagle Backer Membership Levels Flyer

Eagle Backers athletic "booster club” is the official parent organization of Mount Paran Christian athletics. The Eagle Backer board uses membership and sponsorship resources to assist all MPC sports teams, coaches, and student-athletes. The mission of Eagle Backers is to financially support for athletic programs and promote school spirit. Operating in conjunction with the MPC athletic department, Eagle Backers is dedicated to advancing the student-athlete experience, supporting coaching staff,and athletic directors, and seeks first to do this in a Christian-focused environment.

The role of Eagle Backers is to cooperate with and support the coaching and administrative staff at MPCS. The Eagle Backers booster club is to organize and implement club supported activities through financial and administrative support for ALL student athletic programs at MPCS.

No, the Eagle Backers support ALL sports in the middle and high schools. The Athletic Department and the Booster Club understands the importance of the middle school program and their role in the future success of the high school level. In addition, lower school benefits by having a strong athletic foundation for ALL future Eagle student athletes.

As with any public or private school, a small portion of the school’s budget goes toward athletics. Much of the funding for athletics comes from participation fees. The goal of Eagle Backers is to raise a substantial amount of money each year for ALL of our athletic teams that will provide them a competitive advantage on and off the field. Membership participation is vital to maintain our fields, equipment, and technology.

All families in grades pre-K through grade 12 who have a current or future Eagle student-athlete are encouraged to join the Eagle Backers booster club.
