MHSAA, MGAB combine to streamline support for Giants athletics

Patricia GibsonMHSAA News

Marion High School Athletic Association and the Marion Giants Athletic Booster Club have joined forces to continue making a positive impact on Giants athletics long into the future!

MGAB is becoming a committee within MHSAA. The infrastructure of MHSAA will allow the MGAB committee to continue to support Marion Community Schools through targeted giving and annual scholarships for athletes, as well as offer members fan perks, special advertising opportunities, and more. All funds earmarked for the MGAB committee will support athletic teams and programming at Marion Community Schools.

MGAB membership begins at $30, and all members are recognized in the Giants athletic magazine. Additional perks are included at higher giving levels. More details are available at mhsalum.com/MGAB.

The Booster Club will continue to support Giants athletics at the high school and junior high levels. MGAB funds are essential for the athletic departments at Marion High School and McCulloch Junior High School, helping them meet immediate needs for their athletic programming. MGAB can also direct their gift to a specific sport or team.

The MGAB scholarship will continue as well, recognizing top senior athletes each year. In addition, MGAB members have the opportunity to vote in the annual selection for the Giants Athletics Hall of Fame.

MHSAA is thankful for the work of the MGAB Board throughout its decades as a standalone organization, and is particularly grateful to those who worked to make this transition possible. The added efficiency will certainly improve the effectiveness of the Booster Club, and it will streamline MHSAA’s support options for Marion athletics.
