The E Club, a group of dedicated parents, is raising funds to renovate the team locker rooms at Edgemont High School. Founded in 1950, this booster organization supports Edgemont athletic programs and fosters community spirit. Funding from the E Club helps Edgemont athletes be the best they can be when they train and compete.
The current team locker room is under-utilized and in desperate need of new lockers. The proposed new space will be lined with lockers that will adequately store the students’ athletic gear. The new space will be utilized by both the Edgemont student athletes and visiting teams. The E Club will provide partial funding for this capital improvement which will include 60 lockers at a cost of $300 each. The E Club has already pledged $6,000 and is looking for sponsors to complete this project. They are already about 2/3rds of the way there after a mass mailing went out last month to parents. Ideally they would like to complete the project before the school year begins in September. Community members interested in contributing can send in donations to Sheldon Glassman, E Club Membership, 9 Warnke Lane, Scarsdale, NY 10583. As a special incentive to contribute, there will be a plaque outside the locker room thanking families for their contributions to this project.
The E Club is also planning an evening of fun family entertainment at its second annual Family Mini Golf Night. Save the date for Friday, September 23rd to join the E Club from 5:30 to 9 pm at the Fairview Golf Center in Elmsford. The cost is $75 for a family of four and $10 for each additional family member or $20 for singles. All proceeds will benefit Edgemont Athletics. In the past, the E Club has paid for new team uniforms, wrestling mats, scoreboards, the lights used during Homecoming in the fall, the Sports Awards Dinners and much more needed equipment for Edgemont Athletics. It also sponsors the very popular E Day sports competition and barbecue held every year in May at EHS for the elementary school students. The kids look forward to this day every year.
