Help Spread the Tiger Spirit

What is Catch the Tiger Spirit? 

In the spring of 2023, Athletic Booster’s Catch the Tiger Spirit Campaign was born with the main goal to improve school spirit here at Tucker. Thanks to the continued generosity of donors, we continue to accomplish so much for our school spirit and athletic programs the below, which is our 2024/25 accomplishments. 

Free admission for all Tucker students to our over 175 home games throughout the entire 2024-25 school year. Thank you to Mr. Raymond and Coach Heizer for supporting our efforts to make this happen for our students.  Special thanks to this year's generous donors:

o   Hicks Rental Haulz

o   First Call Environmental, LLC

Purchase of our game giveaways and other incentives for students to attend athletic events, including t-shirt throws, gift cards for halftime competitions, and other items. Thank you to:

o   Dr. Jennifer Rose of Family Dentistry

o   Agent Reggie Dickerson

o   Realtor Mair Downing

o   Doswell Orthodontics

o   Frank's Auto Service

o   Many generous families and alumni

Recognition of our zone and centers at our home football games. A huge shout out to all of the students who supported these events including tailgates before their game and recognition at halftime!

Organization of contests at games like the Half-court Shot and Crossbar Challenge at basketball and soccer games. Congratulations to our gift card winners!

Coordination of 139 senior banners for our athletes, up from 131 last year, the second year this has been done consistently across all sports.

As a result of our efforts, we saw student attendance at games and Athletic Booster's concession sales continue to increase. The best result though has been knowing that all students can join the fun at

games and cheer on their friends without having to worry about how to pay for it. 

Athletic Boosters hopes that we can again coordinate the efforts to offer free admission to students next year. If you would like to support this cause, please...

• Sponsor student admissions: Make a donation of $500 or more towards our $10,000 goal to replace student gate proceeds and allow students free admission to all 2025-26 home sporting events. Make checks payable to J.R. Tucker High School with Athletics Donation-Catch the Tiger Spirit Campaign in the notes section. 

• Purchase advertising for your business: Buy banner(s) for the stadium of your choice: $350 per 3’x8’ banner hung for 2025-26 school year.

• Make a donation: Help fund spirit incentives and student giveaways at home games by making a donation of any amount. 

• Donate incentives or other prizes: Provide coupons or items to give away to students who attend or win prizes at home games. 

Thank you for your support of our Tucker family and your help to spread the Tiger spirit!
