MORE ABOUT BOBCAT ATHLETIC FOUNDATION

The Bobcat Athletic Foundation was established in 2017 to enhance the athletic facilities and experiences of Bowling Green City Schools, using donations and endowment income to provide athletic benefits to students and citizens of Bowling Green, Ohio.

This community initiative is an established 501(c)(3) to which any donation is fully tax deductible. While the foundation works closely with the athletic director and coaches to determine which projects to fund, we are independent of the BG schools, and Bobcat Boosters.

Current Project: Outfitting the new high school Weight Room.

The Old Equipment

This was the condition of the weight room equipment before the Bobcat Athletic Foundation's first major fundraiser.

2023 Weight Room Campaign

Over 200 donors and community members came together and donated more than $70,000 to purchase and install new weight equipment for the current space. Thanks to this successful campaign our foundation was able to set up steady revenue streams that will continue to fund future projects. This Plaque hangs in the current weight room recognizing donors who gifted more than $500.

The Wight Room Transformation

Thanks to our donors, the old high school weight room has been renovated and re-painted. Over $50K of new equipment was installed and is currently being used by student athletes. This space will be maintained as part of the BG Schools Activity Center. The New High School Weight Room will be much larger allowing for 3 times the amount of equipment an student capacity. Thankfully our current revenue streams should be able to outfit the room immediately with new equipment.

NEW EQUIPMENT

Requested equipment is made in Newark Ohio and already has our colors. Straydog Strength uses a mix of innovation and modular design to tackle the needs of today's athlete. This new equipment will bring a much needed energy to the current and future space.
