ABOUT
The Sports Booster Club impacts every Eagle sports program and promotes student development by providing resources and upholding the St. Thomas standards of honor and integrity.
Through generous contributions of tax-deductible advertising sponsorships in the annual award-winning Eagles’ Pride magazine along with income from Eagle home games concessions and merchandising sales, the Booster Club is able to make a difference. Be a part of our team by showing your support!
STUDENT/FAMILY TRIBUTES
Showcase your student with a RISING STAR TRIBUTE for freshmen, sophomores and juniors or a SETTING SUN SALUTE for seniors.
Half and full pages FAMILY/LEGACY ads can also be purchased to highlight individuals or groups of students. These are also ideal to celebrate families with a rich history associated with St. Thomas.

FAQs
Q. Who benefits from the magazine Ad Sales?
A. The income supplies the majority of the Booster Club funds which provide a significant annual grant to the athletic department; letter jackets to new letterman; sport recognition meals/treats; general support to all teams such as coaches fees, fees for students in need, game day hydration drinks/water, etc.
Q. When is the magazine published and how is it distributed?
A. The Annual STH Sports magazine is published in the fall and is distributed at games, Mothers’ Club meetings, and team parent meetings until they are gone! It is also available in the front office. Business sponsors will have one issue sent by mail.
Q. What is a Family/Legacy Commemorative Ad?
A. It’s a ideal way to highlight your STH and sister school students, individually or as a group (team, friends, longtime classmates) and recognize legacies and STH lineage.
Q. Does my student have to be an athlete to have Commemorative Ad?
A. All STH and sister school students are welcome to be highlighted. Past ads have honored athletes, cheerleaders, trainers, band members, Eagle Guard members and even a Jazz quartet.

Q. How does a Family/Legacy Commemorative Ad differ from a Business Ad?
A. In addition to a differential in cost, there are additional recognition benefits to Business Ads (see table).
