Athletic Booster Club All-Sports Passes
Athletic Booster Club All-Sports Passes for the 2024-2025 athletic year are now available. Your purchase of a Booster Club All-Sports Pass is an investment in all of our athletes as proceeds from the sales go directly toward purchasing equipment and other needs for the athletes, teams, athletic trainers, and athletic department.
The majority of pass funds raised last year are funding this year’s weight room renovation.
AC Flora & Crayton students are eligible for a discounted Student Pass. If you’re a spring sport parent or athlete, don’t wait until the spring to buy your pass. Get it now so you can enjoy the fall and winter sporting events, too.
