ABOUT BOOSTERS
Glenbard West Boosters is a fundraising organization with the mission of enriching the student experience at Glenbard West through our Grant process. The Boosters have granted over $140,000 every year each of the last three years - splitting those funds between enhancing academic programs, athletics, and club activities throughout West.
Boosters work throughout the year to raise funds via different events, activities, and sales. You will see Boosters heavily involved in Homecoming by sponsoring the parade, hosting the pancake breakfast, supervising the bonfire, and chaperoning the dance. Boosters hosts an adult fundraiser where the community comes together to celebrate West and its many accomplishments. Boosters is the official supplier of Glenbard West gear at one of our many gear sales throughout the year. We also host our annual “Pack the Place” event where Beister Gymnasium is filled to the brim with Glenbard West fans cheering on the girls and boys basketball teams.


Joining Boosters is easy. Any West parent, alum, or Glen Ellyn community member can join. Joining Boosters increases the amount of grants we can put back into the school. As a member, you will also have the opportunity to volunteer throughout the year and even chair a committee if you are so inclined.
Boosters host monthly meetings during the school year – every third Thursday in the school library. Meetings are a great way to meet other Boosters as well as hear from Principal Peterselli and Assistant Principal Kain. Each join us every meeting to give Boosters a detailed update of what is happening at the school. Meeting dates for the ’25-’26 school year are as follows:
-
August 21
