8. Quarterback Club Guiding Principles: Be clear with parents up-front on what it takes to run the program. Create a plan that balances fund-raising with parent contributions. Be creative and aggressive with fundraising. Be frugal but provide for a good experience for our kids Don’t “nickel and dime” parents. Provide for economic support to families when needed. No student should be kept from playing football for financial reasons. Maintain absolute transparency with financials.
