About Friends of South Hadley Athletics

Friends of South Hadley Athletics is a community-led effort made up of parents, alumni, and local supporters committed to sustaining and strengthening athletic opportunities for our student-athletes.

As we look ahead, our athletic programs continue to face funding challenges. While there is currently a proposal under consideration to support the school budget for FY27, that decision is not yet final, and long-term funding for athletics remains uncertain beyond a single year.

In response, this group has come together not only to help ensure short-term stability, but also to begin building a more sustainable future for South Hadley Athletics.

We are inviting local businesses to partner with us in supporting these important programs. Athletics play a vital role in the student experience—building teamwork, leadership, and school pride—while also bringing the community together.

Business sponsorships will directly support athletic programs and help maintain opportunities for student-athletes both now and in the years ahead.

As a sponsor, your business will be recognized as a valued supporter of South Hadley Athletics and the broader school community.
