The Puncher Club, which is the official fundraising arm of the Mason Independent School District’s extracurricular activities, continues to look for ways to raise money to benefit the most important group its serves. The students.
Spread over four years, the club has bought or contributed $136,000 to various items the school budgets can’t cover. They include weight room equipment, coolers for the athletic department, ice bath tubs for the Cowgirls, a sound system in the high school gym, golf bags for that program, tents for the track and field program, track meet concessions, softball field fence, baseball wind screen, baseball sweat tops, headset communication equipment for the baseball program, light pole wraps at the tennis courts, tennis ball machine, football blocking sled, paint for the football field, football tunnel transportation, gameday ties for the football team, charter bus to transport the band to the state competition, meals for the Mason players and coaches and their opponent at Meet the Punchers, the pre-season watermelon feast, meals for the spring banquet, and college scholarships to graduating seniors whose families are Puncher Club members.
To get that money, the club does a variety of things, Rabon said, and sometimes the prices are higher than what they have been.
