TEAM REQUESTS
At its core, the Booster Club's primary goal is to provide financial assistance for the unmet needs of all RFH athletic teams, subject to certain conditions. Generally, we consider requests that will benefit the team during practice or games for more than one season. Personalized requests or those that cannot benefit more than one athlete will not be accepted. Please note that school-funded team uniforms are replaced every four years using the school athletics budget and are not eligible for Booster Club funding. However, unfunded teams may submit uniform requests. To submit a team request, please follow the process outlined below. We are here to support you, so don't hesitate to ask!
STEPS TO SUBMIT TEAM REQUEST:
If your team is school funded:
1.
The coach or team representative at the coaches request should email Chris Lanzalotto, Athletic Director, at clanzalotto@rumsonfairhaven.org with the specific item or items that the team would like purchased. It is strongly recommended that the request is accompanied by a quote or link to a website for the specific item so that there is a clear understanding of the dollar value of the request.
2.
If the AD can use school funding based on availability and overall priorities, he will make the purchase and let the coach know.

If funds are not available and the request meets the requirements for Booster Club funding, the AD will forward the team request to the Booster Club and will let the coach or team rep know he is doing so.

4.
If coaches or team reps feel that providing additional context or information to the Booster Club would be helpful, they are welcome to do so either by attending a meeting or emailing RFHBoosterClub@gmail.com. (for example, adding a rebounder to our practice rotation allows the team to be more efficient during drills)
​
​
5.
The Booster Club Board reviews the request and holds a vote. If the vote passes, the item is purchased immediately.
If your team is not school funded:
1.
The coach or team representative at the coaches request should email the Booster Club directly at RFHBoosterClub@gmail.com with the specific item or items that the team would like purchased. It is strongly recommended that the request is accompanied by a quote or link to a website for the specific item needed with pricing. Any additional context to clarify understanding of the request is also recommended since this will not be reviewed by the Athletic Director (for example, surf team rash guards are used during competition so that the judges can identify contestants).

The Booster Club Board reviews the request and holds a vote. If the vote passes, the item is purchased immediately.
Any questions about funding can be emailed to RFHBoosterClub@gmail.com.
