Westlake community event to kick off school year
The Westlake Demons Athletic Boosters (WDAB) will host its annual Spirit Rally and Membership Drive on Wednesday, Aug. 10. The purpose of the community event is to celebrate the start of the school year, introduce coaches and student-athletes and raise critical dollars to support WHS and LBMS athletic teams.
Held at the UH St. John Stadium at Westlake High School, the Spirit Rally will begin at 6:00 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. All community members are invited to attend this free event. The event will feature the WHS cheerleaders, marching band and auxiliary teams, food trucks, games, a Dunk Tank and other activities.
Virnette House-Browning, WDAB President, says it is a great family-focused, community-wide event that brings everyone together in a fun way while encouraging membership in the athletics booster organization.
“It’s a free event for the community and we get a great turnout. When people come and see all that WDAB is doing to support athletics in Westlake, they enthusiastically make the decision to become a member,” said House-Browning.
According to WDAB Vice President, Delicia Ostrowski, the Spirit Rally not only offers an opportunity for individuals to become WDAB members but also for community businesses to sign up to participate as corporate sponsors. "We have a number of sponsorships levels available for businesses that are great for connecting local people with local businesses," said Ostrowski. It’s a win-win to collectively support our athletics programs and local businesses, while generating Demon pride for the Westlake community. Ostrowski added that businesses who are not able to attend can also reach out via email to wdabvp@gmail.com.
Spirit Rally Rain Date: Saturday, Aug. 13, 2-5 p.m.
