Narrative Description of Activities

The activities of The Manatee High School Baseball Boosters are to raise funds for the enhancement of the boy’s baseball program of Manatee High School, a public high school in Manatee County, Florida.

The activities consist of the planning and conduct of a “Steak Out” fundraising dinner for which tickets are sold and may be redeemed for a steak dinner, either as “take-out” or on-site consumption in the parking lot of a local business. At the “Steak Out” location, silent and traditional auctions are conducted for the sale of donated merchandise. School apparel also is sold at retail prices.

While not a significant source of funds, general cash donations are accepted and are included in accounting for the receipt expenses of the fundraiser dinner.

All net funds are used for the purposes of purchasing team uniforms, other team apparel, additional sports and sports training equipment, additional sports officiating, and to enhance travel and participation by the student athletes and their supporters.

The organization expends all funds raised, except the minimal amounts reserved for necessary expenses to plan and implement the same activities for the following year.
