All-Sports Boosters kick off scholarship drive

On Sunday, Oct. 5, hundreds of student-athletes, in uniform, will fan out across town for the Marblehead High School All-Sports Boosters 2025 Scholarship Drive. 

“Every donation helps support athletes across all sports at Marblehead High School — from football and soccer, field hockey to lacrosse, sailing, volleyball, baseball and more,” said Boosters President and Scholarship Chair Kate Dulac. “Whether it’s suiting up, traveling to competitions or covering the small but crucial costs of being on a team, it’s the generosity of our community that helps make it all possible.”

Co-Chair Rebecca Sahagian added, “Also importantly, our annual scholarships help graduates take their next steps toward college, careers and community service. We’re deeply grateful to Marblehead residents for investing in all of our student-athletes.”

The Boosters is a volunteer-run nonprofit focused on supporting the needs of all MHS sports teams. Specifically, in the last few years, Boosters have provided:

● Newly resurfaced tennis courts

● Team uniforms

● High School digital sign

● Wrestling mats

● Hockey bags

● Tournament travel subsidies so all students could participate 

● Coach training, sports medicine supplies and athlete wellness resources

Last fall, 328 student athletes went door-to-door during the Boosters Scholarship drive and raised just over $30,000. This year our student-athletes will be hitting the streets with a goal of raising $34,000.

Scholarships

Boosters scholarship recipients have gone on to compete on college club and varsity teams while studying fields ranging from STEM and education to the health professions. Many alumni return to Marblehead to coach youth sports or serve in community programs.
