The Booster Club started off the year with the First Annual Big Blue Booster Bash 2009...with about 300 people in attendance for food, fun and socializing, a great time was had by all. The Grand Raffle Prize of $2500 was split by two Chatard Boosters. The Booster Club was able to earn over $6000, all of which will be used to directly support athletic endeavors at BCHS. Thanks again to all who participated...it was a fabulous way to kick off a new year of Trojan Spirit!
