BRUIN BOOSTER CLUB INC Charity Report

Public IRS 990 nonprofit record

BRUIN BOOSTER CLUB INC

EIN 84-2567443 · Fund Raising & Fund Distribution - Education (B12)

What they do

THE CLUB WAS ORGANIZED IN 2001 BY LOCAL PARENTS to SUPPLEMENT THE GARDINER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN RAISING FUNDS to SUPPORT SPORTS, ART, MUSIC and OTHER EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. GARDINER is A SMALL ISOLATED RURAL COMMUNITY AT THE NORTHEAST ENTRANCE to YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, and MANY STUDENTS ARE DEPENDENTS of PARK EMPLOYEES. FEDERAL FUNDING for THESE CHILDREN CEASED SUDDENLY IN 2014, and FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THE BORDERING STATES of WYOMING and MONTANA WERE INSUFFICENT to ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS.
