Booster Clubs in Action: How to Help in Homecoming Week
While the bands tune up and the teams take the field, the booster clubs run the operation behind them. Here is what Clinton County's booster organizations are focused on this week:
The "4 Quarter Drive" capital campaign continues with a $460,000 goal for field turf replacement at the Falcon stadium, and its Zeffy fundraising page showed roughly $68,550 raised as of early October. The companion project to expand the track to eight lanes remains part of the drive. The 2026-27 annual membership is open at $50, and corporate sponsorship packages are available as the Falcons host back-to-back home games. Explore cmathleticsboosters.org, join as a member, or give to the turf replacement fund.
Homecoming night Oct 9 is the season's biggest volunteer lift for the Hurricane boosters: concessions, gate help, and parade volunteers are all part of the operation. The association supports Hurricane student-athletes through concessions, memberships, season passes, and scholarships. The district's booster page lists open volunteer slots and how to join. Visit the Wilmington High School Boosters page for how to help.
The 2026-27 membership renewal window is open, and the club is staffing a home stretch at Barbour Memorial Field that started with the homecoming win Oct 2 and continues with Williamsburg Oct 9. The annual Blue Tie Event, which honors Wildcat coaching contributors, has typically been held in March, and the official site posts dates and ticket details when they are set. Visit blanathleticboosters.org for membership and volunteer details.
The Astro boosters run recurring fundraisers including the football and basketball golf outing, an annual spaghetti dinner, a baseball golf outing, and volleyball fundraisers. Specific dates for the 2026-27 school year are posted on the official East Clinton athletics booster page as events are finalized. See the East Clinton Athletics booster page for dates and sign-ups.
Compliance note: All fundraisers featured above are organized by independent, school-affiliated booster and band organizations. Glasshouse Realty does not operate these fundraisers and receives no proceeds from them; ticket and donation details come from each group's official pages.
Around the County: Fall Sports, Band & District Calendar Notes

Meet sites and times shift with weather, so the school athletic calendar is the source to check each week.
The Wilmington High School Band Concert is scheduled for 7:30 PM on Thursday, Oct 15, per the district calendar. It is a public performance open to the community; confirm time and location on the district events page.

A note on schedules
High school schedules do change. Weather, reschedules, and late-season moves happen, so the confirmed source is always the school, the district, or the athletic department itself. Check the official schedule pages linked above before you load up the car.
Why Your Support Matters: Every Dollar Stays Local
When you buy a plate of chili Friday, renew a booster membership, or volunteer a homecoming shift, the money and the time stay right here in Clinton County. They become new band music and uniforms, field turf and track work at Clinton-Massie, team meals and scholarships for Hurricane, Wildcat, and Astro student-athletes. The "4 Quarter Drive" is a good example: every tax-deductible donation goes toward facilities that every Falcon athlete will use for years.
This is what community looks like in October: parents behind the concession window, local businesses sponsoring a program, and families showing up to cheer for kids who wear the same school colors. A homecoming parade, a county rivalry, and a community that always shows up, that is Clinton County in the fall. Rooted in Wilmington, Glasshouse Realty proudly serves Clinton County and surrounding communities.
