The record

Where the Money Goes

Every dollar the Boosters raise goes back into Bexley athletics. This page is the running record - what an ordinary year funds, averaged across 2019–20 through 2025–26, and the projects that money has built.

Average annual support

$83,170

Year after year

Most of what the Boosters fund isn't a building.

It's the season itself, the banners, the entry fees, the timing clock, the scholarship at the end of it. This is what an ordinary year looks like.

Major projects

The things we built

Big facility projects are paid off over several seasons. Each card shows the Booster share. These are the largest; they aren't the whole list.

  • Aerial view of the Bexley stadium with its replaced green turf field, BEXLEY lettering in both end zones and the blue track around it

    $100,000

    Replacement of the stadium field surface - the main turf used by football, soccer, lacrosse and track events, and by middle school teams and community groups.

  • The Bexley soccer team lined up on a synthetic turf field

    Softball & multi-use turf field

    $90,000

    A full synthetic playing surface for softball, built by SprinTurf and shared with other programs - usable in early spring and after rain, when the old grass field wasn't.

  • State champions signage bearing the Schiff name along the fence at the rebuilt Bexley tennis courts

    Schiff Family Tennis Complex

This record accumulates. A social post about a new field is gone in a day - this page is where every project the Boosters fund stays visible, year after year.
