The Lisbon Pride Boosters have been very supportive of the Activities Department over the years. Specifically, during the course of the 2022-2023 school year, they donated more than $45,000 towards HUDL, the new marching band uniforms, 25 percent of state hotels and meals for students, and money towards the purchase of a new wrestling mat. Due to the group’s ongoing support, it has also allowed the activities department to directly benefit as this is $45,000 that has been able to be spent elsewhere. This includes near $20,000 in state hotel/meal expenses, new uniforms, volleyball net system, and many other purchases.
