xxxxxOriginally organized in 1992 as the
"NCTC Baseball Boosters," this organization of dedicated
volunteers was chiefly responsible -- from a financial standpoint --
for the establishment of varsity intercollegiate baseball at North Central
Texas College. In the years since, the club has continued to provide
outstanding support for baseball, buts its focus has widened to include
ALL intercollegiate sports at NCTC. To reflect this, the club officially
changed its name to "NCTC Athletic Boosters Club."
xxxxxThe Boosters Club is an officially
incorporated non-profit organization which operates under the sanction
of the college and the leadership of a n Executive Committee. Current
president is John Morris of Gainesville.
Fund-Raising Activities
xxxxxThe Athletic Booster Club's principal
fund-raising event of the year is its annual Danny
Darwin Celebrity Open Golf Tournament, named for the recently retired
major league pitching veteran known as "the
Bonham Bullet." Since its inception the tournament, and its
Sports Memorabilia Auction, has raised well over $220,000 to support
NCTC athletics. This includes paying for construction of an Indoor
Batting Center a gift of $64,686 last year to install bleachers
and other finishing touches on the new Baseball/Softball Complex, and,
most recently, $25,000 for NCTC athletics.
Membership in the NCTC Athletic Boosters
Club is open to all interested persons. If you would like more information,
