SCS Class of 1975 Launches Fundraiser for Booster Club

SCHOHARIE – In honor of its upcoming 50th anniversary, the Schoharie Central School Class of 1975 has initiated a fundraising campaign to support the SCS Booster Club, with an anonymous classmate offering to match donations up to $2,500.

The effort, dubbed "$50 for 50 Years," was inspired by a call from an anonymous 1975 graduate who wished to give back to the school. The fundraiser encourages classmates and community members to contribute to the Booster Club, which supports student athletes and various school activities.

According to a letter circulated among alumni, the SCS Booster Club provides a wide range of support, including funding for team-building events, purchasing athletic equipment like a new high jump mat, and helping to pay for warm-ups for athletes in need. The club also presents two $300 senior scholarships, pays for star athletes and coaches to attend regional banquets, covers fees for referees and officials, and purchases trophies for events like the Kyle Sharpe Soccer Tournament.

Recent activities of the Booster Club, now administered by Nick and Heather Fretto, include organizing a Semiformal dance for the high school, the first since 2019, and increasing product offerings at concession stands to boost fundraising.

Donations can be made to the SCS Booster Club in honor of the Class of 1975. The anonymous classmate will match all contributions up to a total of $2,500.
