The Montezuma Blue and White Boosters helps the Montezuma community more than many community members may know.
It all started in the fall of 1997 when Al Rabenold took over the athletic director position at Montezuma High School. The booster program supports any group that represents Montezuma and helps each group buy uniforms, equipment and other miscellaneous items.
They have recently funded the weight room project and hotel rooms for state wrestling participants. The booster club also funded the new banners in the gym and the new indoor cage for golf, football, baseball and softball.
The Blue and White Booster club raises money through operating the concession stand for the majority of Montezuma hosted athletic events. They also sell clothing for every sport, while collecting all of the profit.
The booster club sponsors the kickoff meal for the Gatorade fall and summer athletic activities and has a 3-point pizza shoot sponsored by Casey’s, that is held during the halftimes of basketball games.
The Blue and White Booster club sells “M” yard signs and attachments to show pride for Montezuma athletics throughout the community.
The most important thing that the booster club does to help Montezuma student athletes is offer the Blue and White Scholarship to help athletes further their education.
This year the booster club has given $13,700 to Montezuma activities.
There are several levels of membership within the Blue and White Booster club. Membership fees go directly to the Blue and White account to support activities.
Membership forms are available at registration in the fall, at Manestreet Hair Designers or in the high school office throughout the year.
