The Holiday Shopping Edition

Shop for the Holidays, Support the Boosters!

Did you know the Viking Booster Club is connected to AmazonSmile? When you shop at Amazon, go to https://smile.amazon.com/ and pick Viking Boosters Club - Palatine IL as your charitable organization. In return, Amazon will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to the Fremd Viking Booster Club. For more information, click here for more information.

I’d also encourage you to stop by the Spirit Shop. They have operating hours during the school day and at several upcoming evening events. They even have an online store! Check out these details and more on the Spirit Shop page.

Still not satisfied? Why not stop by the Booster Craft Fair on December 9 (9:00-4:00) to find something for the rest of the people on your list.
