Canton Golden Bears Booster Club

The Canton Golden Bear Booster Club supports all levels of athletics at Canton Central School and with the  donations from this campaign, we can support many new projects desperately in need of upgrading. Facilities and equipment need to be replaced and your generosity will make this a possibility.

If you would like your donation targeted to a specific sport, you can indicate the program in the comments.

Thank you so much for taking the time to support  Golden Bears Athletics.

(The Booster Club is a 501c3 so you will receive an automatically generated tax receipt for your donation)

Watch your favorite Golden Bears live in action on the NFHS Network!  

The Canton Golden Bears Booster Club is raising money to purchase two pixellot cameras to live stream sporting events at Canton High School.   The cameras will be mounted in the High School “Houli Dome” Gymnasium and at John Oliver Field.  All Canton Central School athletic events held at these two venues will be broadcast live over the NFHS Network.  The Booster Club’s goal is to raise $5,000 to purchase the cameras.

Golden Bear Alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends will be able to watch all volleyball, basketball, wrestling, football, and boy’s lacrosse games.   With a NFHS Network subscription you can watch any sporting event broadcast from any high school in the United States participating on the NFHS Network.  Keep up to date with Canton Athletics by watching our teams as they work toward Section X Championships and beyond.

Time is of the essence.  Donate today so that the cameras can be in place for the start of 2019-2020 basketball and wrestling seasons!  Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000!  Go Bears!

The Canton High School Bear's Den is desperately in need of a renovation. The padding at the end of the gym is ripped and the championship banners are falling apart. In honor of the 80th anniversary of the Golden Bear, we are looking for 80 people to donate $100 each which will raise enough money to replace the banners and the padding. If we are able to do that, the gym will be completely repainted, the banners will be put up and the padding will all be replaced before the 2016-17 school year. We want to make sure the long history of athletic accomplishments at Canton Central is well represented in our gymnasium. Help us make the Bear's Den the sharpest looking gym in all of section 10!
