FUNDRAISERS
& EVENTS
The Downingtown East Girls Lacrosse Booster Club is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization run by parent volunteers. Our goal is to enhance the players' overall experience through fundraising and team building. Every year, the Booster Club raises funds to cover expenses that are not included in the school budget such as team training, gear, new equipment, additional coaching staff, off-season field rentals, team-building events, and more. With your help, we can support the coaches in making this a high school lacrosse experience that our girls will cherish for the rest of their lives!
Below, you will find a list of our annual fundraisers & events.
Links to participate will be posted on this page when each fundraiser or event goes live.
CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS
The Corporate Sponsorship fundraiser is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It kicks off on December 1st and ends on January 31st, so your businesses can take advantage of end-of-year tax write offs or beginning-of-the-year budget flexibility...whichever works best for you. Your tax-deductible donations help cover a variety of expenses that are not covered by the school district such as additional coaching staff, team training, gear, equipment, off-season field rentals, and more.
If your company is interested in sponsoring our team this year, please fill out the Sponsorship Form below. Thank you so much for your support!
GAIT LACROSSE STICKS
When you purchase a Gait lacrosse stick using our team's discount code, you will receive 20% off your purchase. This will save you close to $50 on most sticks!
For every stick purchased using this discount code, our Booster Club will receive $25.

SPIRIT WEAR STORE
Support our team by showing your spirit! Our team store opens twice a year - once in the fall (perfect for ordering Holiday gifts!) and again in the winter before the start of the season. A wide variety of items will be available in women's, men's, and youth sizes.
AXE THROWING NIGHT
What's better than fundraising and team building wrapped up into one?! Families and friends of all of our players and coaches are invited to join us for a fun night out in February. A portion of each ticket sold goes back to support the team.
The link to sign up will be available in early January!
alumni game
Our 4th annual Alumni Game & Tailgate will take place on Wednesday, November 27th from 11am - 1pm. Current players, families, and coaches all look forwarding to welcoming our alumni back to the Lower Turf for a few hours of fun & games.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We invite all parents to get involved. It is a great way to get to know other parents on the team and give back to the sport that has given our daughters so much. If you would like more information or are interested in volunteering, please email downingtown.east.girls.lax@gmail.com.
