Small WAA

The Warrior Athletic Association (WAA) is a group of volunteers who in 2004 re-established the former Warrior Booster Club. The goal was to assist the athletic department and sport programs in their fundraising efforts. The group started with an online auction and a golf tournament and now hosts over five events each year.

The WAA provides financial resources necessary for more than 170 student-athletes to compete at the national level. 

Mission Statement: The Warrior Athletic Association's (WAA) mission is to promote community awareness while developing and retaining relationships between our student-athletes and the community, along with raising non-profit funds for all Warrior Athletic programs.
