The Mahomet-Seymour Athletic Boosters help financially supplement 25 sports programs for equipment, gear, or other expenses. They also help supplement certain larger facility projects that benefit multiple student-athlete programs.
The Mahomet-Seymour Music Boosters volunteer their time and talents to support the operation of our district band and choral programs and fundraise to financially supplement the needs of the programs not covered by the district.
