Diamond Boosters is a nonprofit organization based in Eugene, Oregon, dedicated to supporting the baseball and softball programs at Churchill High School. Established in 2019 by parents of Churchill High School athletes, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity and functions as a collaborative effort between parents and coaches to enhance the athletic experience for the students[1][5].

The primary mission of Diamond Boosters is to assist coaches and athletes by managing various ancillary tasks that accompany team management, such as player and parent communications, uniform coordination, scheduling for games and practices, collection of player fees, and organizing events like picture days. This support allows coaches to concentrate primarily on coaching rather than administrative and logistical duties[5].

Diamond Boosters holds official approval from the 4J School District, which manages Churchill High School, granting the organization access to the softball and baseball facilities. While the school district owns the facilities, Diamond Boosters owns the equipment used by the teams, including pitching machines, hitting facility equipment, and team gear. Importantly, Diamond Boosters operates independently and is not formally affiliated with or mandated by the 4J School District or Churchill High School[5].

Funding for Diamond Boosters is sourced through donations, sponsorships, and fundraising activities, with a focus on providing financial support to the teams and their needs beyond what is typically available through school resources. The organization actively encourages community involvement and contributions to support its ongoing efforts[5].

Key points:

• Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization serving Churchill High School baseball and softball programs.
• Founded in 2019 by parents and coaches to support athletes and reduce coaches’ administrative burdens.
• Approved by the 4J School District with access to school athletic facilities.
• Owns and manages equipment and team gear.
• Focuses on fundraising, team management assistance, and community engagement to support the programs.

This structured approach distinguishes Diamond Boosters from a typical booster club, emphasizing comprehensive support designed to foster athletic development and community participation in Churchill High School’s baseball and softball sports[5].
